Literature watch | Charles River Associates

We are pleased to present the latest edition of CRA’s IP Literature Watch. This issue contains pieces on antitrust & IP, licensing, litigation, innovation, law and policy, copyright, and trade.

Some highlights from the issue:

  • A paper exploring the regulatory framework governing the licensing of IP in franchising, with a focus on trademarks and trade secrets, and highlights the role of franchise agreements in addressing issues such as IP use, protection, sub-licensing, and infringement;
  • An article conducting a global survey of multiple countries with different legal traditions and local conditions to explore how they have attempted to answer questions in relation to the unauthorized use of copyrighted works for Ai training;
  • And an article creating a timeline of key music copyright cases and music industry practices, and assessing these factors against the increase in the number of songwriters per chart topping song to provide a holistic picture of the music landscape from 1946-2023.
