Following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, the courts are seeking methods for interpreting European law that remains part of the UK legal system (assimilated law). In this context, the methods developed in other non-member countries in Western Europe that have incorporated European legislation may serve as a source of inspiration. This is particularly relevant in areas such as intellectual property, where there is a high degree of harmonisation between legal systems, often due to the clear intention of legislators in the various jurisdictions. Following a general overview of the legal relations between Switzerland and the European Union, this talk will examine the concept of autonomous adoption of EU law in Switzerland. It also examines how the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union is taken into account in the interpretation of laws originating in the European Union, particularly in the field of intellectual property. On this basis, it draws conclusions for the United Kingdom.
