session 9. overview of and recent developments in global copyright

As previously announced, session 9 will be taken over by a guest lecturer. I am most delighted to give the floor to Dr Emanuel Meyer and look forward to interesting discussions on some recent developments in global copyright law, offered by an expert with a background in the fields of both policy-making and international negotiations.
If you think that some of your fellows may be interested in this topic, do spead the word.

Dr. Emanuel Meyer is Head of Legal Services 'Copyright and neighbouring rights' at the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI). Subsequent to his studies at the University of Zurich and the Franklin Pierce Law Center (Concord, New Hampshire) and prior to joining IPI in 2005, Emanuel was a practicing lawyer in Zurich. His profession of choice would have rather been a guitar player but lack of musicality had proven to be a decisive obstacle.
