Intellectual property
No full textThe evolution of intellectual property law within the EU legal framework has been substantial and rapid. Previously viewed as a potential exception to the free movement of goods which EU Member States could potentially use to counteract the scope of free movement law, intellectual property law is now seen in a new light in the modern era. A plethora of EU secondary law, and by extension, applying to the entire EEA, have aimed to harmonise elements of the internal market to establish intellectual property rights on a pan-EEA basis. The introduction of EEA law three decades ago, along with the adjudication of the EFTA Court in this area, has sparked a robust discussion about EU/EEA intellectual property law. Even though it may not have been on the terms it initially intended, the EFTA Court has made significant contributions to the field, covering areas such as trademark law, copyright law, and patent law
The President of the European Commission and the Power to Request a Commissioner's Resignation
Full text linkArticle 17(6) TEU provides that a Commissioner "shall resign if the [Commission] President so requests". This terminology appears absolute and suggests that the President's power to (essentially) dismiss a Commissioner summarily is one related to confidence. This immense power appears in the Treaties alongside the Article 247 TFEU compulsory retirement procedure, through which the ECJ can remove a Commissioner for, inter alia, serious misconduct. This article analyses the President's power to-in essence-dismiss Commissioners, and seeks to establish the limits, if any, on this power. The article argues that a line between the President's Article 17(6) TEU power and the compulsory retirement procedure cannot be maintained pragmatically. The article also asserts that, save for highly exceptional circumstances, the President is free to compel the resignation of Commissioners

Feb. 26th, 1919,
Adoloft Zukor, Esq.,
485 Fifth Ave.,
Mew York City.
My dear Mr. Zukor:
I was in negotiation with Mr.
Jesse L, Lasky prior to his departure for the
Coast, in a matter in which I represent Miss Ina
Claire.
Mr. Lasky stated that Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation desires to make the
motion picture based upon the play" "Polly with a
Past" in which picture Miss Ina Claire will be
starred.
Mr. Lasky informed me that he
would write me a letter containing an offer by
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation . He later telephoned and stated that he was forced to leave
that day for the Coast, but that he had explained
the situation to you and that you would, at once
communicate with me.
Miss Claire desires to do this
picture at or about the close of the present season.
She must therefore, make her arrangements within
a reasonable time, and consider other offers to
that end.
While there is no understanding
whereby Miss Claire is to give Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation an option, I am nevertheless inclined
to await word from you before taking this matter up
with any other concern. Will you kindly let me hear
from you at your early convenience.
With kind personal re

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
