Research Abstract	In fiscal year 2009 research on EC trademark regulation and EC design regulation shed light on a status quo wherein we only have to discuss how a third country itself should deal with community intellectual property law (CIPL) , as these regulations don't have the intention of preventing a lawsuit over CIPL from being raised in a third country. In fiscal year 2010 the analysis of treatments of CIPL in private international law by comparing discussions in Japan with those in European countries revealed that a transnational community could be regarded as having a "foreign system of law".
