ABSTRACT
The subject of this chapter is not the substantive law of intellectual property-what is a trademark, what is copyright, and so on-but the role of intellectual property as a possible obstacle to free movement, in particular of goods. In principle, the normal rules apply, and knowledge of Arts 28 and 30 remains the starting point. However, this is not enough. Intellectual property raises unique issues, and it is necessary to look at its particular nature and use in order to understand how the free movement rules apply.
