World Intellectual Property Day
Today we celebrate World Intellectual Property Day. The Intellectual Property Institute (IPI) celebrates it by publishing a collection of answer questions that we have received regarding copyright in education from the teachers for whom we have organized the project “Copyright in Education”.
IPI is a consulting, research and educational institution. The main area that IPI deals with is copyright. In the field of copyright, IPI organized and participated in various projects: we co-organized the Open Knowledge Day 2021, conducted Webinars on data analytics, with the support of the US Embassy within the NGO Small Grants project, and we are participating in the Communia Copyright Education project (CR4EDU) and in developing guidelines for Text and Data Mining. We also expanded the work circle to the field of data management and artificial intelligence, as dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič, LL.M., LL.M. participates in the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence initiative and co-chairs the data governance group.
One of the many is the project “Copyright in Education”, which IPI is conducting in cooperation with ARNES. As part of this project, in February 2021, ARNES organized an online event “Remote Education and Copyright” for educators, at which dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič presented the basics of copyright and the challenges posed by remote education to more than 850 participants. Based on the questions asked during and after the event, IPI prepared a set of questions and answers to them.
Said questions and answers are made public on the IPI website today, and you are invited to read them!
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.
