this blog aims at providing a heterodox review of selected significant decisions and legislative acts and bills concerning intellectual property law and related matters, each of them deconstructed in its essential features, and critically commented. thus, we particularly address the happy many (?) who want to go beyond mere updating and descriptive overviews, and rather inquire into both the systemic coherence and the legal-political meaning (“who gains, who loses”) of the various legal “novelties” which attract our attention. we are of course aware of the higher risk of ‘subjectivity’ that such approach implies. but we do believe that a critical reader is immunized against such risk, and privileges a more controversial but “salty” dish vis-à-vis an insipid one. and in this very spirit, however, we will welcome the readers’ comments: especially the critical ones.
