Luc Desaunettes-Barbero
Luc Desaunettes-Barbero is a post-doctoral researcher at CRIDES (UClouvain, Belgium) and a member of CEIPI research department (University of Strasbourg, France). He is also currently a lecturer in IP law at the University of Saint Louis (Belgium) and at the MIPLC (Germany) as well as in competition law at the SciencePo Strasbourg and the University of Strasbourg (France).听
His research agenda focuses primarily on IP, touching upon questions related to trade secrets (i.e., PhD on the justifications and optimal shaping of the protection), patent law (i.e., coordination of an international group of scholars on the Unitary Patent Package, publications related the patentability of de-extinct species, proportionally of injunctive relief, SPC, SEP) and copyright law (i.e., Study for the EU Commission on the impact of AI technologies). His work also covers more transversal questions, such as the legal appropriation of / access to data, the effect of the processes of internationalisation (i.e., TRIPS flexibility clauses) and Europeanisation (i.e., harmonisation impact, the role of the ECJ), or the relationship between IP protection and climate change and, more generally, with fundamental rights.听
Next to IP law, he also engages with Competition law (i.e., publication of two general monographs on articles 101 and 102 TFEU), and he is extending the scope of his research to legal issues arising in the frame of the platform economy (i.e., legal handling of ratings and review, disinformation).听
