Beschreibung:
The chapter focuses on the toolbox of trademark law to map the tensions between cultural heritage and intellectual property protection and to explore to what extent trademarks offer useful, albeit imperfect ways, to protect cultural heritage. The chapter then addresses the questions of whether some of the existing mismatches can be rectified in a viable way and whether a stronger linkage between cultural heritage and the intellectual property regime brings about the desired effects. The chapter takes into consideration the international legal framework for trademarks, in particular the TRIPS Agreement, which incorporated the 1883 Paris Convention, and created a set of global minimal standards for IP protection, linking them also to the WTO’s dispute settlement system. The chapter also looks at developments in the national regimes, where relevant and useful for the discussion
