Within  the last three years, the ECHR has issued a trio of intellectual  property rulings interpreting the right of property protected by the  European Convention on Human Rights. These decisions, which view  intellectual property through the lens of fundamental rights, have  important consequences for the region\u2019s innovation and creativity  policies. The cases are also emblematic of a growing number of  controversies in domestic and international law over the intersection of  human rights, property rights, and intellectual property. The article  analyzes this trend and uses it to develop three distinct paradigms to  identify the proper place of intellectual property issues in the  European human rights system. It concludes that the ECHR should find a  violation of the right of property in intellectual property disputes  only in cases of arbitrary government conduct.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article provides the first comprehensive analysis of the intellectual property case law of the European Court of Human Rights (\u201cECHR\u201d).
