Queen Mary University of London’s Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) and the Sorbonne Law School are hosting a joint Opening Lecture for January 2020 on "Is there a second-hand market for digital content? Exhaustion in European copyright law".
The principle of "exhaustion of rights" (or "first sale") is an important one in intellectual property law. Under its shelter, second-hand markets in tangible goods, such as books, have flourished. The question of whether the principle of exhaustion applies also to works in digital form, such as e-books, is a topical and significant one in European copyright law. In this opening lecture, perspectives are offered on this question - including on the very recent Judgment of the CJEU in (C-263/18) Tom Kabinet.
