Ukraine has joined the WIPO ALERT platform for combating websites that infringe intellectual property rights, which allows the exchange of information on potential intellectual property rights violations at the international level.

Ukraine has joined a number of countries that will fill the WIPO ALERT platform to counteract websites that infringe intellectual property rights. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine. 

Details 

It is noted that the Ministry of Economy adopted an order approving the procedure for the formation and maintenance of a national list of websites that raise concerns about the observance of intellectual property rights on March 21, 2024. 

In particular, thanks to the Ministry of Economy's cooperation with the WIPO through the WIPO Alert data exchange platform, member countries can exchange information on potential violations of intellectual property rights on an international scale.

From now on, copyright and/or related rights holders may submit to the IP Office a request for inclusion of a website that raises concerns about the observance of intellectual property rights in the national list of such websites. 

Despite the challenges of a full-scale war, we are making every effort to protect copyright and related rights on the Internet for Ukrainian and foreign intellectual property rights holders (...).  members of the World Intellectual Property Organization can download information about websites and applications that violate copyright from the point of view of national regulations. This is also a confident step towards Ukraine's European integration

- emphasized Yulia Svyrydenko, First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

Addendum

The agency said that Ukraine is the fifteenth country to join the WIPO initiative.

This is an important step towards creating a more secure digital space in Ukraine, which will contribute not only to the protection of intellectual property rights but also to the further development of the national economy. 

Vitaliy Kindrativ, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine, explained that the Ministry of Economy's priority is to ensure transparent conditions for doing business in areas economically related to the distribution of content on various Internet platforms and to reduce cases of unfair or non-transparent competition.

For reference

The WIPO ALERT Database is a secure online platform administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization where Authorized Participants of WIPO member states can upload lists with detailed information about websites (as well as mobile applications) that are reasonably suspected of infringing intellectual property rights.

Recall

The New York Times has announced that it has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement - unauthorized use of the publication's materials in training artificial intelligence models
