When and where does it meet?
It holds regular short seminars
on current issues, normally on the second Thursday of alternate months
(subject to speakers' availability) at the offices of
Berwin Leighton Paisner (Adelaide House,
London Bridge, London EC4R 9HA). Drinks are served from 5.45pm and the
meetings usually end at about 7.15pm. From time to time longer seminars
(half-day) are organised in conjunction with the Intellectual Property
Institute (formerly CLIP).
What subjects are discussed?
Subjects dealt with at the
regular seminars
over recent years have included: authors' moral rights; the Copyright
Tribunal; the Copyright Directive; reports on WIPO developments; US
legislation and the philosophical basis of intellectual property. In
addition extended joint seminars have covered rental and lending rights;
satellite broadcasting in cable retransmissions; the problems of
copyright and related rights in the EU; and the Statutory Instruments
implementing the various EU directives.
What
does it cost?
The annual subscription is only
£42. This covers attendance at all the regular meetings and
entitles members to a substantial discount on the fee for joint IPI/BLACA
seminars. BLACA members are automatically members of ALAI with
entitlement to attend its international Congresses and Study Days each
year and to receive copies of the proceedings (A special registration
fee is available for registered students. Enquiries to Simon Clark).
