Summary
The EEC was originally founded with the aim of fostering cooperation between Member States and harmonizing their laws across economic and political sectors. The necessary legislation at the EEC level required the delegation of competences to the EEC, under the TEEC. However, no such provision regarding the harmonization of intellectual property law was included in the original TEEC. Regardless, this has not hindered the development of the law in this area. The articles of the TEEC on the freedom of movement of persons, services, and capital,1 the prohibition of discrimination or ban on export/import customs, and limitations and other equivalent measures,2 as well as the right of establishment,3 have all served as the foundation for harmonization in this field.4
