Asimov Alapítvány: V 4 paradigm shift in copyright

The field of copyright is associated with important cultural, social and technological aspects, all of which have to be taken into account in formulating policy in this field. In the last 20 years copyright and patent holders in the different fields of industry and art have entered into a new period of redefinition. Nowadays copyright – that served to protect the interest of creators in the last centuries – seems to become a barrier of invention and knowledge sharing.

The aim of this Workshop is to better understand the situation of copyright in the Central EU countries. During the event the most important European copyright activists will inform the participants about the current situation and the future activities.

The 'V 4 paradigm shift in copyright' Workshop will be a great opportunity to discuss current domestic and international issues with the members of the intellectual property communities and to reflect on new challenges to copyright paradigms.
