This Research Agenda provides fresh insights into fundamental issues within EU copyright law. Expert authors highlight recent trends in the scholarship and discuss the challenges posed by novel technologies such as AI and NFTs. They expand on the need to update the law to adapt to change and present innovative analyses of various strategies to influence EU copyright policies.

Chapters are organized into three parts, which correspond to the traditional pillars of copyright law: authorship; rights and their market implications; and exceptions and other types of flexibilities. They examine crucial points within academic and policy discussions, such as human creativity, the public domain, open access and the very definition of a piece of work within the law.

Featuring recent case law and topics that are of high priority to EU policymakers, A Research Agenda for EU Copyright Law is a key resource for students, academics and practitioners within the field of intellectual property law. Its practical applications and forward-looking perspectives will also benefit policymakers.

‘This book explores fundamental issues: what the copyright law is for, what standards should be used to determine the nature of copyrighted material and the scope of protection, and what form should be taken to limit rights and remedies. The profound analysis of this book, coupled with its detailed bibliographic information, provides not only a good guide for the future formation of EU copyright law, but also a research agenda for copyright law researchers around the world.’
