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 sought to capture a snapshot of intellectual property in 2025 through a variety of informed perspectives: lawyers, legal advisors, academics, representatives of institutions, collective management organizations, cultural actors, and labor unions… This book offers a dynamic and accessible overview of the major issues facing intellectual property today.
Accessible, rigorous, and thought-provoking, this white paper is intended for legal professionals and academics as well as policymakers and creators. It presents a rich mosaic of diverse perspectives and serves as an invitation to reflect on and shape the future of intellectual property together.

▶ Agnès Robin and Sylvain Chatry, *Introduction to Intellectual Property: Unity and Diversity*, Bruylant, Paradigme Series, 5th ed., 2025.

An “unconventional” branch of law, intellectual property law is evolving into a relatively homogeneous body of law, which this book presents in a cross-cutting and comprehensive manner. While intellectual property represents a distinct form of ownership compared to those 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 through an analysis of its legal structure (Part II). Finally, it is now necessary to examine the synergy of intellectual property rights, which manifests itself both through the interrelation of intellectual property rights among themselves or with other rights and through the influence of intellectual property regimes (Part III).
This book is intended for master’s students taking courses in intellectual property law, as well as for practitioners and scholars interested in reexamining the subject in light of contemporary issues and challenges.

Foreword by Michel Vivant, afterword byAndré Lucas.
