A comparative analysis of the intellectual property rights in relation to multimedia products in the European Union

Ziel



Research objectives and content
- provide a legal definition of multimedia - investigation and comparison of the laws relating to multimedia in the Member States, the European Union and selected third countries
- evaluation of the existing regimes, suggestions for improvement, how to cope with a rapidly changing technology?
- trace the influence of social and economic factors - make a contribution to the creation of a Community wide environment in which the multimedia industry can develop and prosper
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) - familiarisation with intellectual property laws and other legal rules as applied in the area - developing an understanding of the technological aspects of multimedia - how to apply a comparative approach to a rapidly evolving subject - how to integrate elements of social and economic analysis of a subject defined and determined by technological factors - development of a draft of a legal framework which will allow the growth of the European multimedia industry, including in the currently less developed areas of the European Union
Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) The multimedia industry is currently proceeding amidst legal uncertainty. It essentially faces the following problems:
- uncertainty in the protection of its products - inability of clearing rights quickly and efficiently before marketing - different standards of protection and problems of choice of law - large scale copying - uneven competition environment within the European Union - insufficient fulfilment of its economic and moral obligations towards authors. This project will provide a clear insight in these problems and suggest ways to overcome them.
