Italy is back in the news due to debates over the ECB and bond purchases. Unfortunately, there are again lots of distorted stories and statements around.
Here's a data-based summary thread that may help in debunking the claims about a "profligate, reform-lazy Italy". 🧵

Short article with @ByrneHamilton now available online in Nordic Journal of Human Rights. We look at recent references between the African and European HR courts to lay out interlinked future paths. Come for the Borges reference, stay for our soothsaying.

31 mei verschijnt @JohnAlexanderJa's derde roman Va-banque (@Arbeiderspers). Donderdag 9 juni om 13.30 signeert Janssen het boek bij Athenaeum Boekhandel Spui. Wees erbij, en lees een fragment!
I realize everyone's still processing Tuesday's decision on Art 17 DSM, but today the ECJ handed down another consequential ruling: Germany's PI regime requiring prior confirmation of patent validity by a court is *unallowable* under Enf. Dir.
The decisions seems entirely correct to me: as the ECJ writes, PIs would become devoid of purpose if patentee first needs to survive validity challenge in merits proceedings. But it will put further pressure on infringement courts.
Hopefully, today's decision (which tells DE courts to disregard settled domestic case law!) will make stays more common in merits proceedings to close the #injunctiongap, as I argue they should in a forthcoming article in @GrurInt!

No get-out-of-jail-free card for Hasbro as General Court affirms bad faith in MONOPOLY appeal ift.tt/3nx1YYX
It is not uncommon for a game of Monopoly to end with quarrels and accusations of cheating. Turns out even the MONOPOLY trade mark lives up to the reputation: ipkitten.blogspot.com/2021/0…
