Language of the case: German
Applicant: IU
Defendant: BT
Is Article 8(1) of the ‘Rome II Regulation’ (2) to be interpreted as meaning that the law of the State for which protection is claimed also applies to the question of the (formal) validity of the assignment of exclusive rights to use photographs from the author to the assignee?
If Question 1 is answered in the negative, is the question of the (formal) validity of the assignment of exclusive rights to use photographs from the author to the assignee governed by the lex loci contractus and, consequently, are Articles 4 and 11 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations ‘the Rome I Regulation’ (3) applicable?
