Interview with dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič in Primorske novice
“Authors – individual creators are in a difficult position, but will the Directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market and its controversial provision introducing filters fix this? I fear not.” dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič commented the recently adopted Directive in an interview with Primorske novice.
In the article, which is available here (in Slovene) she spoke about the text and data mining exception, about the exception for education, about the controversial Articles 11 and 13 (now 15 and 17) and also about Creative Commons network, the implementation of the exception for blind and visually impaired as well as plagiarism.
The Grand Board of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) finally ruled that the figurative sign ‘COVIDIOT’ cannot be registered as an EU trademark.
The 4th Open Knowledge Day took place on Tuesday 17 October 2023, with an accompanying workshop on 18 October 2023. This year it was organised by the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute (ODIPI) and supported by Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21).
We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič, a renowned expert in copyright law, has joined the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where she will serve as an affiliate researcher for the next two years.
