Publications on intellectual property law

Agnès Robin, co-director of LICeM, is pleased to announce the publication of two books, one to which she contributed this year, and the other which she co-authored with Sylvain Chatry.

▶ Stéphanie Le Cam, Yann Basire, Caroline Le Goffic (eds.), Intellectual Property: Practical Perspectives and Future Challenges, Lefebvre Dalloz, 2025

The white paper Intellectual Property: Practical Perspectives and Future Challenges is the result of a unique collaborative effort. We wanted to capture a snapshot of intellectual property in 2025 through a variety of informed perspectives: lawyers, consultants, academics, representatives of institutions, collective management organizations, cultural and trade union actors, etc. This book offers a lively and accessible overview of the major issues facing intellectual property today.
Accessible, rigorous, and committed, this white paper is aimed at legal professionals and academics as well as decision-makers and creators. It is a beautiful mosaic of different perspectives, an invitation to think about and build the future of intellectual property together.

▶ Agnès Robin and Sylvain Chatry, Introduction to Intellectual Property: Unity and Diversity, Bruylant, Paradigm Collection, 5th edition, 2025.

An "unusual" area of law, intellectual property law is becoming a relatively homogeneous body of law, which this book presents in a cross-disciplinary and comprehensive manner. Although intellectual property is a special form of appropriation compared to those found in civil law, it is now the result of a unified concept, despite the diverse legal regimes it encompasses.
The presentation of intellectual property begins with an overview of its history, sources, institutions, and functions (Part I). It is then examined in its theoretical context with an analysis of its legal structure (Part II). Finally, it is now necessary to present the synergy of intellectual property rights, which manifests itself both in the articulation of intellectual property rights among themselves or with other rights and in the attraction of intellectual property regimes (Part III).
This book is intended for Master's students studying intellectual property law, as well as practitioners and academics interested in revisiting the subject in light of contemporary issues and challenges.

Preface by Michel Vivant, afterword byAndré Lucas.
