  • OpenScienceLink      -     OpenScienceLink will introduce and pilot a holistic approach to the publication, sharing, linking, review and evaluation of research results, based on the open access to scientific information. OpenScienceLink will pilot a range of novel services that could alleviate the lack of structured data journals and associated data models, the weaknesses of the review process, the poor linking of scientific information, as well as the limitations of current research evaluation metrics and indicators.

    To react appropriately to the advent of chips, computer programs and databases, the legislature each time considered it necessary to introduce new intellectual property rights. These new intellectual property rights were to allow providing chips, computer programs and databases with bespoke investment protection schemes. This PhD examines whether this was a good approach. The specific question is whether it might have been better to provide chips, computer programs and databases with investment protection by applying the traditional intellectual property rights or through the intervention of the law on unfair competition against parasitic copying and imitation. Because, according to some, introducing intellectual property rights concerning specific objects does not lead to providing more appropriate investment protection but rather to unnecessary differences and complexity.
