Seminar on Copyright and Neighboring Rights Held in Serbia

The Serbian Chamber of Commerce hosted a two-day National Seminar on Copyright and Neighboring Rights on September 15 and 16, 2009, in order to raise public awareness about intellectual property and its economic and social significance for Serbia’s ongoing development.

The Serbian Intellectual Property Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) organized the seminar, together with the International Confederation of Authors and Composers Societies (CISAC), based in Paris, France, and the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations (IFRRO), based in Brussels, Belgium.

The main objective of the seminar was to inform and educate the attendees about Serbia’s Draft Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights while emphasizing its effects on artists, manufacturers, as well as economic entities who use copyrighted works daily.
