This paper describes and analyse the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) elements in the recently announced EU new trade policy, which seeks to be more assertive in global trade. The policy's focus on IPR covers pushing for greater global harmonisation, the implementation of stronger standards in bilateral FTAs, and enhanced enforcement efforts in key developing countries. This policy is largely similar to the IPR emphasis in US global and bilateral trade policy, which has had a record of mixed success. Lessons are drawn from that record to illuminate the potential gains and problems that might arise in the new EU trade policy.
The protection of intellectual property rights has become one of the most difficult challenges for creative industries, affecting governments, artists, creators, analysts and agencies alike. The most significant challenge is how legal and policy frameworks can keep up with the fast-paced and constantly evolving digital world. While copyright remains the fundamental guarantor of the rights of authorship, the Creative Commons movement is a fast-growing area of interest in the protection of intellectual property rights for artists, creators and educators. Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to making it easier to share creative works within the rules of copyright. Through providing free licenses and other tools, CC provides a mechanism for creators to entice the cap...

In a joint effort to protect artists and artisans in developing countries from theft of their creative ideas, ITC and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) have published a guide full of practical advice. In a preface to Marketing Crafts and Visual Arts: the Role of Intellectual Property, J. Denis Belisle, Executive Director of ITC, and Kamil Idris, Director General of WIPO, point out that "with the ease and speed of copying and imitation, the market can simply get flooded with lookalike products or downright copies. "The real challenge for artisans and visual artists (painters, sculptors and photographers) is not just to produce and market winning new products that cater to changing consumer tastes, but also to prevent - or, if unable to prevent, to deal effectively with...

Documentary films have in recent years achieved unprecedented glory and success in the United States. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" not only was named best picture at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, but also made big bucks at the box office. "Bowling for Columbine" attracted a large audience to theatres nationwide, and crystallized a lively debate about violence in schools. Similarly, the documentary "Super Size Me" was yet another U.S. documentary that became a global hit: That orgy of on-screen gluttony even gave the world's largest fast-food chain, McDonalds, a severe case of PR-indigestion. In neighbouring Denmark, [Karolina Lidin] observes, new documentaries tend to have an intellectual and poetic edge. This is probably due partly to the influence of demon director Lars von Trie...
