WIPO has launched a new digital Creative Economy Notes series with economic research on comics, media franchises and overlapping rights. The interactive series draws on WIPO’s original economic research to stimulate thinking on how the intellectual property framework can best serve the creative industries. The first note asks “Do overlapping rights in movies and video games pay off?” Yes, in short. “Franchise games generate higher sales when registered as a trademark.” Further notes, including research on opera, the visual arts, and Latin American content, will be published here.

Former
Katonomist Nicola Searle is looking for participants for her study on trade
secrets and cybercrime. Her survey, run in conjunction with Birkbeck College
and Chawton Innovation Services, takes 10-15 minutes to complete and is aimed
at understanding how businesses use and protect trade secrets. And don’t worry
– your secret is safe - results will be anonymised. You can read more about the
project and access the survey here.
We are
super excited that our very own Kat, Anastasiia Kyrylenko, was a
price winner in the 2020 AIPPI Essay Competition. This Kat’s essay covered the
topic “COVID-19 and Geographical Indications: Is the Promise of ‘Quality’ in
‘Quality Schemes’ Undermined?”. View the winner announcement here.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
