Edited by Johannes Pitz, Vossius & Partner, Germany, Thure Schubert, Vossius & Partner, Germany & Georg Andreas Rauh, Vossius & Partner, Germany This book explains the course of proceedings before the European Patent Court (EPC), both with regard to the fundamental features of the EU patent, and to its procedural enforcement. Twenty five Member States have adopted the Convention on the introduction of the EU patent with unitary effect. A central component of the EU patent is the establishment of a unified patent court (EPC), which has a court of first instance and an appeal court. As a result all patent lawyers practising in the European Union will benefit from the guide to its proceedings that this book provides.

Three Liability Regimes for Artificial Intelligence
Algorithmic Actants, Hybrids, Crowds Anna Beckers, Maastricht University, the Netherlands & Gunther Teubner, Goethe University, Germany This book proposes 3 liability regimes to combat the wide responsibility gap caused by AI systems. Based on information technology studies, the book first develops a threefold typology that distinguishes individual, hybrid and collective machine behaviour. A subsequent social sciences analysis specifies the sociotechnical configurations of this threefold typology and theorises their social risks when being used in social practices: actants raise the risk of digital autonomy, hybrids the risk of double contingency, crowds the risk of opaque interconnections. The book demonstrates that it is these specific risks to which the law needs to respond by developing corresponding liability rules.

Digital Work Platforms at the Interface of Labour Law
The Future of Unions and Worker Representation
Eva Kocher, European University Viadrina, Germany
Anthony Forsyth, RMIT University, Australia
Regulating Market Organisers
This book shows how to design labour rights to protect digital platform workers, organise accountability on virtual workspaces, and guarantee workers’ collective representation and action. The book provides a fresh perspective for international academic and policy debates on the regulation of digital work platforms, as well as on the purposes and foundations of labour law. It offers a way out of the impasse the debate around labour law classification has reached, by showing what labour law could learn from digital law approaches to platforms – and vice versa.

The Digital Picket Line
L A W - H A R T – Insurance Law / IP Law / International Economic Law / IT Law / Labour Law
Liability Insurance in International Arbitration
This book charts the path to revitalisation for trade unions in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Italy. It examines the examples of innovation and digital campaigning that are enabling unions to build new forms of worker power – and overcome decades of declining membership wrought by neoliberalism, globalisation, and hostility from employers and the state. This cross-national study provides a rich basis for identifying the combination of reforms, strategies and linkages required to ensure that unions can remain relevant for a new generation of digitallyactive workers.
