Legal Definitions - WIPO digital agenda

The WIPO Digital Agenda is a set of ten proposed changes to copyright law that were announced by the World Intellectual PropertyOrganization (WIPO) in 1999. The aim of these changes is to protect intellectual property rights on the internet while promoting e-commerce.

For example, one of the proposed changes is to make it illegal to circumvent digital rights management (DRM) technologies that are used to protect copyrighted material. Another proposed change is to establish a system for the online registration of copyright works, which would make it easier for copyright owners to protect their works online.

These examples illustrate how the WIPO Digital Agenda seeks to address the challenges posed by the digital age to copyright law. By providing legal protection for digital content and establishing mechanisms for its enforcement, the WIPO Digital Agenda aims to promote innovation and creativity in the digital economy while safeguarding the rights of copyright owners.
