PIJIP organises a meeting on the protection of users’ rights against contractual override
On 18 May 2023, a meeting on the protection of user rights against contract override will be held in Washington DC.
The event will focus the discussion around three issues:
Why have some jurisdictions adopted protection against contractual override and others have not?
What effects has contract override protection had on licensors and licensees in jurisdictions where it has been adopted?
In jurisdictions where the protection against contract override has not been adopted, such as the United States, are there alternative legal theories that could have the same effect?
As a member of PIJIP, Maja Bogataj Jančič will present the legislative mechanisms of protection of users’ rights in the Slovenian legal framework. The event will feature presentations by a number of experts on national legal regimes in the EU, the US and elsewhere.
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.
