This paper deals with the phenomenon of peer production in the context of unauthorized copying of information goods. Acc. to Yochai Benkler, it is a form of production operation based on a community. It is widely applied in the Internet and consequently, such information goods as GNU/Linux and Wikipedia have been established. Although the peer production has promoted growth in importance of, among others, free software or an open source initiative, it is also related to unauthorized copying of an intellectual property commonly called Internet piracy. The huge scale of this phenomenon, which is nearly 24% of entire Internet traffic, must not be ignored. In the paper a hypothesis has been put forward that low efficiency of counteracting of intellectual property unauthorized copying results from that fact that, to a great extent, it is generated in a process of the peer production. In turn, the goal of the paper is verification of the thesis in the progress of considerations regarding the nature of both the peer production and the unauthorized copying. A research field was limited to a P2P file exchange network based on a BitTorrent protocol.

This paper presents the issues concerning knowledge management and, in particular, protected knowledge. It deals with the problem of IT systems and mechanisms whose function it is to protect an organization's intellectual capital. These systems deal with the proper circulation of information, the monitoring of incoming and outgoing information from the organization as well as an effective securing of information stored in electronic form in corporate databases. The paper presents the Intellectual Property Protection System SOWI, which was developed by the author. The system uses an extensive set of semantic net mechanisms for the Polish and the English language that allow it to detect instances of plagiarism cases in suspicious-looking documents. It is also able to protect intellectual property on a level that is far beyond simple text matching. The SOWI system uses a mechanism of semantic compression that has been developed to generalize concepts while comparing documents. The main focus of this work is to give the reader an overview of the architecture and applied mechanisms.

The purpose of this article is to present specific problems related to the violation of intellectual property in the field of visual communication and an attempt to identify more effective ways to protect it. Legal protection works in the area of visual communication do not guarantee respect for intellectual property. Jurisprudence encounters problems at the core of which is the discretionary nature of the assessment of the originality of artistic works. The article presents case studies that illustrate this state very clearly. Many artists do not enter a legal challenge in the case of plagiarism of their projects because of the uncertain effect of the procedure and troublesome and sometimes even expensive process. In case of violation of someone else’s intellectual property rights in respect of the works belonging to the area of visual communication the attitude of the designer is essential. Very important are also circumstances in which there is a breach of intellectual property. The analysis of these circumstances can be a starting point to searching for effective ways to prevent the infringement of intellectual property, with particular emphasis on the indication of the illusory benefits of this practice, obtained in such a specific field as visual communication. Possible courses of action in order to reduce the practice of intellectual property violations were proposed. The analysis of these measures is based on the concept of searching for the maximum benefit that can be achieved in co-operation of the designer with the customer. The analyses of individual situations lead to a conclusion that the designer has a maximum benefit when he fully realizes the original design, created as a result of a reasonably long and conducted with due diligence and thoroughness of the design process. Accordingly, strong emotional involvement in the project also creates a unique opportunity for artistic effect. Such a project, entitles the creator to a sufficiently high salary and provides him with an opportunity to promote and achieve further attractive orders. The customer has a maximum benefit in a situation when he receives a unique design, valuable in terms of art, that gives rise to the effective marketing activities. In the high-potential project the opportunities of reimbursement for the costs should be sought. The sphere of visual communication enters a period of formation of the patterns of behavior, including ethical ones. In an era of increasing competition not only the talent and artistic competence of the designer begins to count, but also the model of design process preferred by him and an opinion about him in the environment. It is also the place to assess the ethical behavior of designers and include it into the evaluation process of their selection by the customer. The attitude of the designer is of vital importance to the avoidance of a violation of intellectual property of somebody else. Equally important is the correct relationship between

The goal of the research paper is to present intellectual property as an intangible resource in enterprise. The specific features of this resource and the base of competing (co-operation and rivalry) characteristic for a contemporary market make these core resources for development of not only a large company. In these circumstances it is a premise to create adjusted orientation on the search and exposure of immaterial values (but also their monitoring of competitors). Simultaneously this orientation is aimed at the choice of proper manners of protection of these values both within the organization,in the process of sharing both knowledge and information with other organizations on the market.

In the contemporary information society, domain names constitute not only sets of symbols, but also means of Internet sources individualization. In this sense, they are similar to trademarks that are used for goods and services individualization. At the same time, according to Ukrainian legislation, there are some problems concerned with the relationship between a domain name and a trademark. The article presents a comparison of these two objects. It is argued that a domain name and a trademark are separate objects, which, besides similar, have some different qualities. It is also argued that a domain name is as valuable to its holder as a trademark is valuable to its one. That is why a conclusion is made that these two objects should have legal protection in equal measure without any priority.

The relationship between copyright and freedom of expression has long been debated. Unlike the legal discourse in other jurisdictions, most notably the United States, where it is assumed that free speech and copyright do not collide, in Europe both rights have separate legal effect and are considered to be of equal importance. As a result, when an individual refers to the human right of free speech to hold and impart copyright protected material, it triggers the collision between the two rights. This paper highlights and explores these relationships between copyright and freedom of expression in Europe, offering an in-depth analysis of the human rights scope of copyright and free speech, as well as examining the circumstances under which each conflicting right should prevail.

The Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has exposed significant weaknesses in many countries in terms of preparedness to deal with a completely new type of public health threat. Difficulties and delays in the supply of COVID-19 vaccines have drawn public attention to the leading role played by transnational corporations in access to medicinal products. The authors consider these problems against the background of the concept of epidemiological solidarity and the legal framework for the protection of intellectual property in the World Trade Organization. In this context, they point out the key role of human rights as an instrument to prevent the abuse of intellectual property rights.

W ostatnich latach odnotowano gwałtowny wzrost liczby startupów. Umożliwia to szybki rozwój technologii i innowacji technologicznych. Wielu wynalazców i innowatorów tworzy własność intelektualną, która nie zawsze jest odpowiednio chroniona. Obserwując cykle życia startupów, zauważyć można, że duża ich część kończy swoją działalność w ciągu pierwszych trzech lat funkcjonowania. Celem tego artykułu jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytania: jakie czynniki wpływają na sukcesy i porażki startupów? czy brak ochrony własności intelektualnej jest jednym z takich czynników, a jeśli tak, to w jaki sposób startupy mogą zabezpieczyć swoje wynalazki lub innowacje? jakie strategie mogą w tym zakresie zastosować? jak wygląda ochrona własności intelektualnej w polskich startupach? W artykule jako metodę badawczą zastosowano desk research. Przeanalizowano literaturę przedmiotu, raporty i opracowania firm badawczych, instytucji zrzeszających startupy oraz strony internetowe rzeczników patentowych i kancelarii prawnych pomagających startupom w kwestiach ochrony własności intelektualnej. Badania wykazały, że startupy w większości przypadków zauważają potrzebę ochrony własności intelektualnej, która w sektorach high-tech ma szczególne znaczenie. Wiele czynników może przyczynić się do porażki startupu w różnych fazach jego rozwoju. Ważne jest, żeby własność intelektualna podlegała ochronie już w początkowej fazie rozwoju startupu, a następnie przedsiębiorstwo wykreowało i stosowało odpowiednią strategię ochrony własności intelektualnej.

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in startups. This enables the rapid development of technology and technological innovation. Many inventors and innovators create intellectual property that is not always adequately protected. When observing the life cycles of startups, it can be noticed that large number of these startups become inactive within the first three years of operation. The aim of this article is to answer the questions: what factors influence startup successes and failures? Is the lack of intellectual property protection one of such factors, and if so, how can startups secure their inventions or innovations? What strategies can be applied to protect intellectual property? What does intellectual property protection look like in Polish startups? Desk research was used as the research method in the article. The literature on the subject was analysed along with the reports and studies of research companies, institutions associating startups and the websites of patent attorneys and law firms that help startups in the protection of intellectual property. Research has shown that, in most cases, startups see the need to protect intellectual property, which is of particular importance in high-tech sectors. Many factors can contribute to the failure of a startup at various stages of its development. It is important that the intellectual property is protected at the initial stage of the startup’s development, and that the company has created and applied an appropriate intellectual property protection strategy.

The protection of the Olympic symbol is regulated on the international level in Nairobi Treaty on the protection of Olympic symbol from 1981. This act provides for an absolute ground for refusal of the trademark containing the Olympic symbol – five interlaced rings in specific colors. The Treaty establishes an exclusive right to use the Olympic symbol for International Olympic Committee (IOC). In author’s opinion, the method of the protection of the Olympic symbol seems to be similar to the protection of a famous trademark. However, many countries among which the countries succeeding worldwide in the sport competitions are not the parties to Nairobi Treaty. From this point of view, it is possible to indicate four separate models of the protection of the Olympic symbol in the national legal orders: “Both Nairobi Treaty and special law act”, “Special law act and no Nairobi Treaty”, “Nairobi Treaty and no special law act”, “Neither Nairobi Treaty nor special law act”. The example of the first of aforementioned models is Poland, which is the party of Nairobi Treaty, but its provisions are complemented by the law on sport of 2005, which e.g. provide for the criminal remedies (but no civil remedies) for using the Olympic symbol without the permission of national Polish Olympic Committee. After the detailed analysis author states in the conclusion, that the Polish model raises some doubts and is not entirely satisfactory. Germany, France and US belong to the countries, which have not accessed to Nairobi Treaty, but have issued the special law acts on protection of the Olympic symbol, providing for the complex regulations, including the civil and penal remedies. There are probably some countries, which are parties of Nairobi Treaty, although they do not complement its regulations by the special law acts. In this case the protection is weak, because Nairobi Treaty as such do not provide for the civil and penal remedies for the illegal use of the Olympic symbol. As far as the last model is concerned (e. g. Germany before 2004), the protection can base on the general law provisions regarding trademarks (or combating unfair completion). For example, it is possible to protect the Olympic symbol as a famous trademark. Moreover, author describes the practical aspects of protection of the Olympic symbol, indicating the trademarks granted for IOC by OHIM, and giving examples of the lawsuits (or the nullity actions) brought by IOC on the base of the granted rights.
