Response to Intellectual Property Action Plan

23 Aug 2020

We are working since more than 15 years in the fields of protection and management of multilingual knowledge. The protection of IPRs are a key factor for the successful realisation and take up of new ways to structure, protect, share, manage, communicate, re-purpose and capitalise on multilingual Knowledge in an integrated way , therefore we welcome and fully support the European Commission’s activities concerning the IPR Enforcement Directive. Our suggestions: The IPR Enforcement Directive should be defined at European level and consequently be endorsed by the Member States at national level. Prior to promote Global Fairplay, there is an urgent need to put in place and legally enforce effective instruments and rules towards those who infringe IPRs in Europe, not only in the industrial sector but, more and more important, in scientific and institutional environments. There is an urgent need to stop justifying IPR thefts as misdemeanour, or what Germans call ‘Kavaliersdelikt’ , because such behaviours ruin the existence of people and companies. This in particular when such violation of the law and of Human Rights it is performed by large institutional or semi-institutional organisations. Acting by example will be the most convincing way for Europe to become a global standard-setter in key areas such as Intellectual Property (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
