The publication «La Revue L'Ingenieur Conseil-ICIP» is 100 years old.
This century has, throughout, been dedicated to the protection of innovation and to those who promote it, namely patent, trade mark, design and any other intellectual property right attorney.
With the dawning of 2012, intellectual property is more than ever the centre of the attention. Continuous changes to the demographic, industrial and commercial sectors during the past 30 years have placed knowledge (or innovation) and its protection at the strategic centre of regional and domestic economic policy.
The European Union, whilst strong thanks to its cultural diversity and democratic stability, is weakened by a lack of natural resources. It is therefore driven by the need to promote the protection of its intellectual capital, combined with an ability to innovate, in order to give clear guidance as to its own growth.
In this context, and with the valued contributions of many distinguished professionals from the political and economic sectors, we have seized the opportunity, in connection with our Centennial publication, to question the challenges that intellectual property practitioners will be faced with in the medium and long terms.
For the last ten years, strategic intelligence has striven, with courage and determination, to formulate how intellectual property should adapt to the challenges it faces. The different actors within Europe will therefore have to prepare themselves to find original solutions to these new challenges, as well as meeting the need for new technologies, and resolving the continuing severe global economic crisis that has persevered since 2008.
Some of the contributions to this book cover a global perspective, such as the urgent essential developments in Europe or the need to put the priorities of European companies into perspective.
Others address more technical issues, such as the unitary patent, the centralisation of law in terms of patent infringement, or the recent review by the Max Planck Institute of the European rules and directives relating to the Community Trade Mark (CTM) and national trade mark systems.
Every contribution shows a positive direction : intellectual property law is still young and dynamic. Even if it is at a crossroads, it remains one of the main forces for the continued prosperity of the European Union.
