(EC) No 864/2007 of 11 July 2007 on the law

applicable to non-contractual obligations

proach for the infringement of intellectual

property and the associated remedies, has

provoked an intensive discussion in Europe

whether the lex loci protectionis is still ap-

propriate for intellectual property litigation

in the age of worldwide networks. A con-

densed outcome of this debate is summa-

Against this background, Dário Moura Vi-2

cente, Professor at the University of Lissabon

and author of a long list of contributions both

on private international law and intellectual

property, has now published in the French

language his Hague Lecture held in 2008. Af-

ter a short introduction, chapter 1 presents a

comparative overview of the different types

of intellectual property on the level of sub-

stantive law. The main purpose of the chap-

ter is to demonstrate the diversity of intellec-

tual property protection in some of the main

jurisdictions worldwide. For the most part,

France, Germany, the US, the UK and, what

is added value as such to the ongoing debate,
