Medienrecht / Europäisches Medienrecht und Durchsetzung des geistigen Eigentums

Für das Verständnis des nationalen Medienrechts ist die Entwicklung des europäischen Medienrechts erheblich von Bedeutung. Die Harmonisierung des nationalen Medienrechts ist eine ständige Aufgabe des Gesetzgebers. Von dem im Jahre 2009 in Kraft getretenen Lissaboner Vertrag werden auch positive Impulse für die Ausgestaltung des nationalen Medienrechts ausgehen. Die Autoren des 1. Bandes widmen sich den europarechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen des Medienrechts. Neben der Darstellung der Grundfreiheiten und der Richtlinienpolitik der EU auf dem Gebiet des Medienrechts werden auch Probleme der Transformation des Gemeinschaftsrechts in das nationale Recht behandelt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die für die Praxis relevante systematische Erläuterung der Durchsetzung der Ansprüche und des Lizenzvertragsrechts auf dem Gebiet des geistigen Eigentums.

Klappentext

The development of European media law is highly significant for the understanding of national media law. The harmonization of national media law continues to be an ongoing task for the legislator. The Treaty of Lisbon, which came into effect in 2009, will also have positive effects on the formation of national media law. The authors of the first volume in this series dedicate themselves to the European legal framework of media law. In addition to a presentation of the European Union's basic rights and directive policy regarding the field of media law, the problems associated with transforming Community Law into national law are taken into account. This volume also systematically explains the enforcement of rights and license contract law with regard to intellectual property, which are highly relevant topics for practitioners in this field.

Zusammenfassung

Media law as a means of organization in the real world and the virtual world continues to gain in economic and cultural importance. The global market and the networking of information and communication processes require an improved legal framework for media law in the 21st century. It is not merely production conditions that have been impacted by the digital revolution, but the manner of marketing media products and the use of such are increasingly being conducted in the Internet.

In addition to the classical fields of media law, such as press, broadcasting and film, these five volumes also take into account issues pertaining to sports, theater and electronic media.
