A recording of the online event of the MGTŠ and URSIL is published
On 17 April 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport and the Intellectual Property Office held an online event entitled “Exceptions and limitations in education, research and science and open science and copyright” as part of a discussion on the further development of copyright legislation.
During the web event, a representative of the European Commission presented the regulation of exceptions and limitations to copyright and related rights in the field of education, research and science in the European legal order. Representatives from France, Germany and Slovakia presented their national regimes in this area. The second part dealt with open science and copyright, where, among other things, a representative of the European Commission presented the activities of DG Research in this area.
The interesting presentations were complemented by questions from the audience. We would like to draw particular attention to the discussion on the exemption for data and text mining and the EU Commission’s clarifications on legal access.
A recording of the event can be accessed via this site.
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.
