GiKii 2025 – Call for Papers
Has technology’s slouch towards evermore and inevitable progress condemned it to live long enough to see itself become a villain? Should some tech (bros) have died decades ago so that they could be buried a hero? These are the questions at the heart of the 2025 edition of GiKii 2025, which will be held at the Institute for Information Law (IViR), University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) on 11-12 September 2025. If you are interested in submitting an abstract and want to know more about the conference, click here.

Syncronization rights in audiovisual productions
The International Trademark Association (INTA), through its Copyright Committee, has submitted a written report to the Andean Court of Justice in case 228-IP-2023, concerning the synchronization of musical works in audiovisual productions. In particular, the report clarifies how synchronization is understood in both the music and legal industries, emphasizing its nature as an atypical agreement involving the reproduction, adaptation, and possible public communication of musical content.

Comments
Post a Comment
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.
