Reihe: Concise Commentary of European Intellectual Property Law Series

In the rapidly growing information society, copyright law plays a central role
in the creation, production, dissemination and use of creative material and
the information it contains. In the past 15 years, the European Union has
enacted no less than seven Directives aimed at harmonising copyright
throughout the internal market.

Concise European Copyright Law aims to offer the reader a rapid
understanding of all the provisions of copyright law in force in Europe, which
have been enacted at the European and international levels and features:

Article-by-article commentary on the relevant European directives and
international treaties in the field of copyright and neighbouring rights

Short and straightforward explanations of the principles of law to be drawn
from each provision

Editors and authors who are prominent specialists (academics and
practitioners) in the field of European and international copyright law

Concise European Copyright Law is part of 'Concise IP', a series of
five volumes of commentary on European intellectual property legislation
edited by Professor Thomas Dreier, Professor Charles Gielen and Richard Hacon.
The formula of this series is based on the successful German and Dutch formula
'KurzKommentar' and 'Tekst en Commentaar'.
