The Copyright Committee of AIPPI focuses on all copyright related matters. This includes copyright, but also neighboring rights to copyright (related rights). The Committee consists of copyright specialists from more than 20 countries worldwide. One of the tasks is to accompany and report on the development of international copyright at WIPO as an “observer”, also hosting seminars at WIPO. Further, the Committee studies internationally important copyright developments in the national jurisdictions. It also launches and supports AIPPI Study Questions on copyright, leading to AIPPI Resolutions.
