Management Of Intellectual Property Rights Research Articles

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ БЛОКЧЕЙН У СФЕРІ УПРАВЛІННЯ ІНТЕЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЮ ВЛАСНІСТЮ

The article discusses the current view on the use of blockchain technology in the field of intellectual property management. Today, blockchain is actively used in various business areas, mainly to improve business processes and reduce costs. The main advantages of blockchain are related to the elimination of intermediaries, data reliability, trust and transparency. Storing transaction information without the need for third-party involvement allows transactions to be completed faster and at lower costs. In today's intellectual property system, licensing, identification of the right holder, investigation of intellectual property rights infringements, and other actions related to the management of intellectual property rights are mostly performed by third parties. Blockchain eliminates the need for such intermediaries, which reduces the cost of managing intellectual property rights. In addition to all of the above, there are a number of potential problems associated with the technical specifics of the blockchain: immutability of the entered data; blockchain is the subject of controversy due to high energy consumption associated with "mining"; most of the existing publicly available consensus mechanisms in blockchain systems rely on the presence of cryptocurrency in the system, which makes it difficult to develop applications not related to the concept of cryptocurrency; the lack of cryptocurrency-independent consensus mechanisms for public blockchains makes it difficult to separate them from "digital coins". There are also problems with using blockchain that are not specific to the intellectual property sector: the speed of processing blockchain transactions is significantly slower than traditional transaction platforms such as VISA or PayPal); lack of proper regulatory support in the blockchain sector; lack of planning for legal requirements on early blockchain platforms.

Parallel BFS through pennant data structure with reducer hyper‐object based data hiding for 3D mesh images

AbstractData hiding refers to the technique employed to conceal sensitive data within various forms of multimedia, such as video, audio, text, 2D images, 3D images, and more, while also being able to successfully extract said information from the multimedia file. Although numerous data hiding techniques exist for 2D images, research on data hiding in 3D images is still in its early stages. Current 3D image steganography methods suffer from limitations in terms of embedding capacity and time complexity. To overcome these difficulties, we propose a novel 3D image steganographic technique using Parallel Breadth First Search (PBFS) with hyper‐object. Our approach utilizes the PBFS searching strategy, along with layer synchronization, to embed private information within the vertices of the 3D mesh images. To maximize the effectiveness of the process and minimize time, cost, complexity, and execution, we involved the data structure “bag” to parallelize the BFS. The implementation of bags is based on the pennant data structure. This methodology obtained an impressive Embedding Capacity (EC) of 9.00 bits per vertex (bpv) while maintaining superior visual quality and time complexity. Consequently, the proposed methodology holds great potential for widespread utilization across numerous sectors, including private and government organizations such as intelligence agencies, intellectual property rights management, cloud data security, defense, covert communication, medical imagery, and more.

THE TRADEMARK RENEWAL PROCESS RELATES TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS OF THE BRAND HOLDER BASED ON LEGAL CERTAINTY

In this age of digitalization, the significance of Intellectual Property cannot be ignored. In experiencing the changing era, the Intellectual Property protection system also needs to adjust well, along with the changes, growth, challenges, and opportunities that exist. The growth of the era cannot be ignored, and in the context of the current growth of Intellectual Property, the protection system must also explore so as not to lag behind and protect the rights of individuals efficiently. With this growth, the process of acquisition and ownership of Intellectual Property as a form of protection of intellectual property, absolutely must be supported, facilitated and facilitated by all parties. With such support, facilitation, and ease, this will not only increase the number and quality of Intellectual Property ownership, but more importantly, it will reflect progress in the field of science and technology at the national level. Not only that, it is also a sign of economic progress and the welfare of citizens. The most important is the trademark which is one of and cannot be separated by aspects of Intellectual Property, along with the Exclusive Rights of the Trademark Holder. Because all of these contexts concern the principle of legal certainty. In the context of the disappearance of national borders due to globalization, with the presence of freedom of entry of objects and services. The management of intellectual property rights is very meaningful for the nation's materials because it can share legal protection for intellectual property owned by creators, inventors, designers, and creators related to their creations or intellectual works.

It can validate copyright ownership, record copyright-related transactions, and enhance security and transparency in copyright management. Moreover, it can be relevant in safeguarding trademarks and patents, efficiently tracking ownership and usage, and preventing infringement. The study implies that the implementation of blockchain technology in IPR management in Indonesia requires more detailed regulations and collaboration among stakeholders. It also highlights the need to consider contemporary Islamic Law perspectives to ensure optimal protection for creative and intellectual rights in the digital age.

Intellectual property management for SMEs

As a fundamental element of the knowledge economy, intellectual property is widely used in the modern management of companies. Awareness of the fact that, as a carrier of knowledge intellectual property can become a competitive advantage, requires enterprises to synchronize their management strategy with their intellectual property management strategy. This is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are just entering the competitive market. Realizing the role of intellectual property as a strategic asset, the opportunity for SMEs to generate maximum economic benefits from the management of intellectual property rights increases, which becomes a means of development and a means of creating value. The present study is aimed at revealing strategies for choosing a regime for the protection of intellectual property of SMEs. In this regard, the concept of intellectual property management is clarified, the stages of intellectual property management are presented and the need to develop an intellectual property management strategy is justified, as well as the implementation of this strategy in the overall management and development strategy of the company. The prerequisites for developing a strategy for choosing a mechanism for the protection of the objects of intellectual property owned by SMEs are outlined. In conclusion, the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized enterprises related to the intellectual property system are outlined.

This article discusses the role and importance of state support in the management of intellectual property rights and technology transfer. The issues of domestic and foreign experience of state programs in this direction are discussed. In particular, the organizational and legal framework of IT technology transfer in Uzbekistan, as an example of India and the Republic of Belarus, was analyzed. The aspect of state participation in intellectual property management from the perspective of not only public but also private law is touched upon. This is demonstrated by the experience of the European Union. At the same time, the issues of improving contractual and legal mechanisms for regulation of technology transfer in IT parks and the expected results were discussed. Comparative legal analysis, methods of logical interpretation, and systematization were chosen as the main methods in this study. Also in the study, the expression of norms of technology transfer is analyzed, and ideas for further improvement of the existing situation in comparison with the legislation of foreign countries are put forward.

Fan Art and Intellectual Property Rights on Electronic Commerce Platforms

Problem setting. With the rise of e-commerce in the Digital Age, businesses that focus on making and selling fan merchandise are now widely distributing their products online. Given the issue of distribution, use and management of intellectual property rights in the given context, the problem requires appropriate research. Analysis of recent researches and publications. In the previous studies, broad questions are discussed, but the details and practical implementation of the theory remain outside the attention of scientists. Is it enough to talk about copyright and sometimes about trademarks when it comes to infringement of intellectual property rights by creators of fan art products? What infrastructure do e-commerce platforms offer for fair use of popular works? These questions are relevant, but the answers to them have not yet been sufficiently disclosed in the scientific literature. Purpose of the research is to determine the components of the infrastructure of e-commerce platforms, which ensures the legitimate use of intellectual property of the creators of popular products. Article’s main body. The infrastructure offered by well-known marketplaces has been analyzed. Platforms such as eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Redbubble and Teepublic were selected for the analysis. Infrastructure components such as intellectual property policy, involvement of the right holder and fan art creator, a list of companies open to cooperation, opportunities for communication with the right holder, availability of standard license agreements, the possibility of concluding license agreements through the platform, an accessible portfolio of intellectual property, and the possibility of carrying licenses to other platforms are defined. It has been established that greater specialization in fan art leads to greater efforts to create an infrastructure for the fair use of intellectual property of creators of popular products. At the same time, in the author’s opinion, such platforms could, first of all, make it possible to use licensing agreements beyond the platform and expand the involvement of fan art creators in two-way interaction with the rights holders. Conclusions and prospects for development. The obtained results confirm the relevance, established by previous studies, of studying and improving legal relations between large companies and creators of fan art. The presented study also extends the previous ones in the context of the use of different types of intellectual property in the relevant commercial activity. A significant scientific contribution is the examination of the problem in the context of electronic commerce – this approach allowed opposing the supporters of the opinion that the owners of popular products tend to allow the use of derivatives of such products for the purposes of even greater popularization. This opinion in previous studies has probably been mostly about non-commercial use, but the line between non-commercial and commercial use of fan art is extremely thin. Therefore, precisely in view of the nature of e-commerce, which determines the commercial use of products, the issue of creating an effective infrastructure of e-commerce platforms that ensure the legitimate use of intellectual property of the creators of popular products was revealed in this study.

Digital assets rights management through smart legal contracts and smart contracts

Intellectual property rights (IPR) management needs to evolve in a digital world where not only companies but also many independent content creators contribute to our culture with their art, music, and videos. In this respect, blockchain has recently emerged as a promising infrastructure, providing a trustworthy and immutable environment through the use of smart contracts, which may enable more agile management of digital rights and streamline royalty payments. However, no widespread consensus has been reached on the ability of this technology to adequately manage and transfer IPR. This paper presents an innovative approach to digital rights management developed within the scope of an international research endeavour co-financed by the European Commission named MediaVerse. The approach proposes the combined usage of smart legal contracts and blockchain smart contracts to take care of the legally binding contractual aspects of IPR and, at the same time, the need for notarization, rights transfer, and royalty payments. The work being conducted represents a contribution to advancing the current literature on IPR management that may lead to an improved and fairer monetization process for content creators as a means of individual empowerment.

As trends in need of refraction there are highlighted a decrease in the share of the economy of activities in the field of health and social services; education; activities in the field of information and communication; activities in the field of culture, sports, leisure and entertainment; insufficient efficiency of transport development and low share of fixed capital investments in manufacturing industries.

Offensive patent litigation strategic choice: An organizational routine perspective

Patent litigation strategy is receiving considerable attention as friction escalates between firms over the legal use of patented technology. Offensive patent litigation is an important corporate strategy to protect intellectual property rights via suing others in the event of an infringement. This study seeks to understand how organizational routines, certificated by the Intellectual Property Rights Management Standard (IPRMS), influence strategic choices of patent litigation. Considering multiple scenarios of firm size and ownership, the results show that organizational routines positively affect the choice of offensive patent litigation, with firm size weakening the effect and state ownership reinforcing the effect. These findings contribute to offensive patent litigation research by highlighting the importance of organizational routines and exploring the interaction between a firm's strategies and the institutional foundations of legal practice.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The relationship between open technological innovation, intellectual property rights capabilities, network strategy, and AI technology under the Internet of Things

The problems faced by the open technological innovation of China’s new ICT (information and communications technology) industry under IoT (Internet of Things) technology are expected to be analyzed to improve the overall innovation ability and ensure the sustainable development of related industries. An evaluation model is constructed for open technological innovation in the IoT industry by analyzing the development of IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) management, network strategy, and AI (artificial intelligence) technology under the development of IoT technology. Meanwhile, IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 and IBM SPSS Amos 19.0 are used to analyze the data information of 306 enterprises in the information technology industry. Besides, the proposed hypotheses are verified by factor analysis, multiple regression, and Back Propagation Neural Network. Finally, a new evaluation index system is constructed for open technological innovation in the new ICT industry. The development of IoT technology provides a primary guarantee for the open technological innovation of the new ICT industry, and the network strategy has the greatest influence on the internal knowledge output mode. Besides, the experimental results indicate that the IoT and artificial intelligence have a critical display value for the open technological innovation of the emerging ICT industry, with the highest weight ratio of 48.25%. This result demonstrates that artificial intelligence is positively correlated with the external input information. Intellectual property management is a crucial guarantee of open technology innovation in the ICT industry. The evaluation model of open technological innovation in the ICT industry has good performance through case analysis, with the highest accuracy of 91.25%. Therefore, the evaluation index system reported here can reflect the important factors affecting the development of innovative technology, which can provide a theoretical basis and practical value for improving the existing open technology innovation system.

Cyclical IPR-public Grant Engine Driving R&D Innovation in Small Research-intensive Private Enterprises

A reciprocal relationship has been documented between registering formal intellectual property rights (IPR), obtaining public grants, and undertaking publicly subsidised R&D innovation projects. Focusing on SMEs as key beneficiaries of such grants, this paper provides an original conceptual framework to rationalise this relationship based on the core criteria to obtain and successfully exploit both grants and formal IPR. R&D innovation grants from several European countries display common elements conducive to securing formal IPR status. Novel observations of several European SMEs demonstrate an innovation engine cycling between formal IPR management and publicly subsidised R&D innovation, sometimes for multiple cycles over several years. This was seen for varying grant sizes, technological sectors, and geographical locations. The framework and observations presented herein are of potential interest to research-intensive SMEs, public grant bodies, and professional service providers for public subsidies and IPR management.

Digital Humanities in Academic Library: Creating Narratives through Spatial Data

A growing trend in digital humanities has been digital scholarship and the emphasis on usage of digital tools and methods in research, teaching, and publishing. Academic libraries as laboratories for humanities scholars (Christine Borgman) need to keep up with these changes. Digital humanities (DH) have become an important area of librarianship and demand for librarians with skills and expertise in metadata creation and control, digital repository management, information organization, intellectual property rights management, research data preservation, and visualization has been on the rise. This paper focuses on the English-language literature presenting visualization of spatial and temporal data in DH projects through rich narratives involving text, interactive maps, and map-enabled spatial data services. Using the examples of digital mapping projects developed and implemented in a large academic library, the article shows a case of big academic library on how spatial and temporal data visualization can be employed to tell stories, promote, and inform about cartographic resources of relevance to DH scholars, and provide self-help tools to empower users.

‘Structural arrangements for open innovation: a comparative analysis of Chinese and French multinational companies’

ABSTRACT The ‘structural perspective' of OI, outlines the role of the structural arrangements of companies in supporting open practices. Paradoxically, the understanding of the arrangements of companies that are dedicated to openness remains under-investigated. In this perspective, this article focuses on specific arrangements that are related to the inside-out and outside-in processes. The analysis also emphasises the structural arrangements dedicated to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), in so far as IPRs are considered as key tools for openness. Based on four cases in Western (French) and emerging (Chinese) contexts we answer the following research question: what are the company’s structural arrangements dedicated to the inside-out and outside-in OI processes? The results outline the existence of common characteristics whatever the OI process regarding the links between top management and innovation entities, structural arrangements dedicated to evaluation, knowledge management and decision making may be. The results emphasize the existence of specific arrangements for each process related to IPR management. These findings contribute: to the structural theories of innovation by proposing the first comprehensive approach to the structural perspective for OI processes; to innovation ambidextry which has never been documented in OI; to the recent literature on the contextual dimension of OI deployment.

Features of Intellectual Property Rights Management as Part of the Business Strategy of the Company. Trademark Licensing

The owner’s property right of material objects like products, which are part of а company’s portfolio, usually transfers to another individual in the process of their commercialization and more specifically in their purchase and sale. Тhings are not the same when we talk about owner’s rights of Intellectual property. Due to the non-material form of the objects, which are part of the system of Intellectual property, for example trademark, owners can keep their property right of trademark although it is commercialized. This is possible through the opportunity for licensing. In short, the owners provide their right of Intellectual property to a third party under mutually agreed terms. In return, the third party makes different forms of payments. Do we know how to take the maximum of this opportunity and more specifically when we talk about trademark licensing which is a part of our business strategy? The purpose of this publication is to give answers to some fundamental questions.
