JIPLP-GRUR Int cooperation to continue

Following a teleconference earlier today between Oxford University Press's Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice team and their counterparts at Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht, Internationaler Teil (GRUR Int.), the two titles have reviewed their cooperation over the past two years and have enthusiastically decided to continue it.

Among the fruits of cooperation are the jointly hosted events, of which there have so far been two in London and two in Munich, at which speakers who in general represent essentially common law and civil law perspectives address IP topics of mutual interest from their respective standpoints, contrasting their approaches and sharing thoughts about their respective strengths and weaknesses.  The next joint event takes place in January 2015. This will focus on evidence and procedure in IP litigation.  Watch this space for further details.
