Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines intellectual property law, particularly copyright and patent law, with a focus on their intersection with technology, competition, and societal goals. It analyzes the development and application of these legal frameworks in various regions, including Central and Eastern Europe and the European Union, and their implications for emerging areas like artificial intelligence, data governance, and the circular economy. The journal also explores the historical and socio-political contexts of intellectual property, its relationship with cultural heritage, and its role in addressing contemporary challenges such as environmental policy.
