WEBEX 4/1: Facilitating the Development of the Online Licensing Environment for Copyrighted Works @uspto #copyright

USPTOOn April 1 2015 9am-4pm EDT, the Department of Commerce’s Internet Policy Task Force, led by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), will hold a public meeting – Facilitating the Development of the Online Licensing Environment for Copyrighted Works – In Alexandria VA. In July 2013 the Task Force issued a green paper – Copyright Policy, Creativity and Innovation in the Digital Economy that identified five separate copyright policy issues critical to economic growth, job creation, and cultural development on which the Task Force planned to conduct further work, including the issue of how the government can facilitate the further development of a robust online licensing environment. This public meeting will focus specifically on the development and use of standard identifiers for all types of works of authorship, interoperability among databases and systems used to identify owners of rights and terms of use, and a possible portal for linking to such databases and to licensing platforms. Remote participation will be available via webex. Transcripts and videos of the online environment licensing events will be available after the event at the copyright page of the USPTO website.
