EC "Roadmap" for review of the IPR Enforcement Directive


The European Commission recently published a "roadmap" to the review of the Directive on Intellectual Property Enforcement (2004/48/EC). As it is becoming traditional, the Commission neatly mixes up all kinds of infringements, from dangerous fake medicines to illegal downloads and seeks a "one size fits all" solution. In addition, the previously published implementation report graphically describes the breakdown in the credibility and perceived legitimacy of copyright in the digital environment (referring, for example, to "ubiquitous" infringements).
