Research for community intellectual property law and private international law

在2009财年，对欧共体商标法规和欧共体外观设计法规的研究揭示了这样一个现状，即我们只需讨论第三国本身应该如何处理共同体知识产权法(CIPL)，因为这些法规并不打算阻止在第三国提起关于CIPL的诉讼。在2010财政年度，通过比较日本和欧洲国家的讨论，对国际私法中对CIPL的处理进行了分析，结果表明，一个跨国共同体可以被视为拥有一个“外国法律体系”。

In fiscal year 2009 research on EC trademark regulation and EC design regulation shed light on a status quo wherein we only have to discuss how a third country itself should deal with community intellectual property law (CIPL) , as these regulations don't have the intention of preventing a lawsuit over CIPL from being raised in a third country. In fiscal year 2010 the analysis of treatments of CIPL in private international law by comparing discussions in Japan with those in European countries revealed that a transnational community could be regarded as having a "foreign system of law".
