There has been a significant change in the approach to intellectual property protection over the last years. Attempts to control intellectual goods more closely, and to punish any violations of existing law more severely have encountered mass protests. The intellectual property rights need a major overhaul in order to keep up with the globalisation process. The changes are especially important now: when intellectual capital is the main input in the production of many goods. The new law should facilitate, not slow down, further technological development, and at the same time allow all groups of the society to benefit from the products of intellectual creation.
