Intellectual Property: Globalization or Limitation of Scope?
Congress Centre, conference hall B4
Legal regulation governing intellectual property today appears to indicate that two contradictory trends are at play. On the one hand, globalization is helping to increase protection of exclusive rights, strengthen the position of major rights holders, and expand the protection of exclusive rights beyond national regulation. However, on the other hand, globalization has led to a growing desire to introduce additional restrictions on rights in ways which may benefit individual countries, society as a whole, or certain groups. It is therefore crucial to strike a balance capable of protecting the interests of all parties. Given that some rights holders have abruptly abandoned their obligations to licensees in Russia, these issues are now cast in a particularly strong light.
• Disputes surrounding Eurasian patents.
• Changing approaches to intellectual property in the digital realm.
• Issues related to the enforced restriction of the validity of exclusive rights.
• Restrictions on exclusive copyright and related rights in the context of globalization.
• The potential to improve EAEU regulation in the field of intellectual property.
