About the Book:

Reto M. Hilty has left a deep mark on European, German and Swiss intellectual property law. On the occasion of his retirement as Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Innovation and Competition and as Professor ad personam at the University of Zurich, his friends and colleagues pay tribute to his work with this Festschrift. The range of topics and the variety of authors reflect the impressive spectrum of Reto’s activities. The Festschrift contains contributions on fundamental questions of IP law, on patent, copyright, design and trademark law, on the protection of trade secrets, on the law of geographical indications as well as on antitrust and unfair competition law. One focus is on the challenges of digitalisation, in particular on how IP law deals with data and artificial intelligence (AI).
