Nordic Copyright Symposium 2024 (26-27 September 2024)

If you are interested in copyright from an EU and Nordic perspective, then consider attending the Symposium organized by Dansk Selskab for Ophavsret in Copenhagen.

As explained by the organizers, the programme will attempt to answer the following questions:

• How have the Nordic countries implemented the DSM Directive, including its Chapter 3 on contracts?
• Can material created using AI be protected by copyright? And who holds the rights in that case?
• When is text and data mining for AI development legally permitted under copyright law?
• Does AI technology also entail copyright infringement apart from this? If so, how should we handle it?
