Author
I was born on 2nd May of some beautiful year. Graduated from the University of Gdańsk, the Faculty of Law, Center of European Law. I also conducted studies at Chicago-Kent College of Law in the LL.M. Program in International Intellectual Property Law.
I am an author (and I probably will be) of couple of less or more scientific articles concerning intellectual property and new technologies issues. I already published in such periodicals as Computer and Telecommunications Law Review (Sweet and Maxwell, London) where I am also country correspondent, European Intellectual Property Law Review (Sweet and Maxwell, London), Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (Oxford University Press, Oxford) where I am also a member of the Editorial Board (Copyright, Related Rights and Designs, including sui generis database right) and Managing Intellectual Property (Legal Media Group, London).
Writing a CV is not my purpose here. For your information, however, my first contact with the Internet was in 1994 (a shell account on the University server panda.bg.univ.gda.pl working with the HP UNIX® operating system). I graduated from the law school but since long I have been interested in webdesign trends, Linux operating systems, especially Debian and computer graphic. I am skilled in Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator® and Corel Draw®. I am also interested in marketing: corporate identity issues, branding - the logotype you see at the top I made myself. I was a freelancer illustrator too, you can see some samples of my works in my old portfolio (300 KB, PDF file).

I created and have been updating this website to have a comprehensive compilation of resources of issues I am interested in.
