Welcome to the Online Forum on Intellectual Property in the Information Society, hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) from June 1 to 15, 2005.
What is the aim of this project? I suggest the copyright period would be changed so that each book has fixed 50 years copyright protection. Would this suggestion be seriously considered in WIPO? Or does the Disn... money talk. How about my suggestion on making anything patentable without costs so that we who develop free software could protect our intellectual property as well? All disagreements on IPs would be settled in the courts with money. Patent offices would not spend money in examining the patents. Now patent system discriminates us who don't take money from our products. Whos intellectual property WIPO is after? Who or what companies are behind the WIPO?
