Branka Marusic

I mostly provide teaching in IP law and EU law at Swedish and Croatian universities. I am co-responsible for the course The Internal Market - Digital and Social Challenges with core responsibility for the digital part of the course.

My main area of research is the harmonisation and codification of laws in the EU. My book titled The Autonomous Legal Concept of Communication to the Public: Interpretation in EU Copyright Law discusses harmonisation in copyright – specifically copyright in an online context. The major bulk of my research revolves around creative industries and how digitalisation, legislation as well as interpretation of that legislation influences them. I regularly attend conferences in the field of intellectual property and EU law as a presenter and speaker. In 2023/2024 I was based in Oxford as an SCCL-Oxford Fellow. For a detailed list of my publications please visit DiVA.

News outlets, blogs

I contribute to the largest Croatian newspaper Jutranji list by writing editorials on intellectual property law and EU law matters. My contribution on what are geographical indications of origin and how can one use them for wine can be found here, or what judgements of the CJEU in copyright matters mean for everyday users can be found here. I also contribute to academic blogs. My two last contributions can be found here, and here.
