A recording of the online event of the MGTŠ and URSIL is published
On 17 April 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport and the Intellectual Property Office held an online event entitled “Exceptions and limitations in education, research and science and open science and copyright” as part of a discussion on the further development of copyright legislation.
During the web event, a representative of the European Commission presented the regulation of exceptions and limitations to copyright and related rights in the field of education, research and science in the European legal order. Representatives from France, Germany and Slovakia presented their national regimes in this area. The second part dealt with open science and copyright, where, among other things, a representative of the European Commission presented the activities of DG Research in this area.
The interesting presentations were complemented by questions from the audience. We would like to draw particular attention to the discussion on the exemption for data and text mining and the EU Commission’s clarifications on legal access.
A recording of the event can be accessed via this site.
On September 16, 2023, Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič participated in the event @Re:Source MAH – the 10th International Conference on Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology. The program was divided into various categories (“tracks”), specifically focusing on the documentation and preservation of media arts; climate change; pioneers of media arts; and the history of media arts in museums.
The U.S. Copyright Office has once again denied the registration of an artwork created by artificial intelligence. Artist Jason M. Allen was unsuccessful in his second attempt to register the artwork “Theatre D’opera Spatial” as a copyrighted work because it contains more than a de minimis amount of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
On Friday 23 June 2023, a webinar entitled “Copyright and Legal Basis for Generative Artificial Intelligence Training” was held as the inaugural event of an informal research network in the region in the field of copyright.

The new report of the Knowledge Rights 21 project partner SPARC Europe is now available.
