The Law.pl portal’s “5 minutes on IPR” featured an article by Wiktoria Matysik titled “Will the Court of Justice (again) dox the concept of the right to make a work available to the public?”. “The concept of the right to make a work available to the public, harmonized at the EU level within the framework of Article 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC, is one of the most widely analyzed copyright issues in the case law of the Court of Justice. As a result of the German court’s decision to refer questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling, this issue will once again become the focus of the EU body.” The text addresses the following questions: – what are the new preliminary questions on the subject of public access? – to what extent are the facts of this case similar to previous cases before the Court involving hotels and resorts? – can a group of seniors living in a care center be considered a “public”? – what is the principle of technological neutrality?
