We may find ourselves in a situation where our image or the image of someone we know is published in the media. How legal are such publications? The publication and use of a citizen's image (including video or fine art) is only allowed with their consent. However, some exceptions exist where the citizen's consent is not required. These include: - use of the image for state, public, or other public interest purposes; - the image was captured in public spaces or at public events. However, this exception does not apply if the image is the main focus of the use; - when the citizen was paid to pose for the image. What exactly constitutes public interest in this context? How does judicial practice view these cases? For more information on the legal aspects of image use in media, see the article written by lawyer Ekaterina Yudina. #image #media #copyright https://lnkd.in/dzQbSkN7

This week in IP & the public interest: If you receive my newsletter indirectly through IFLA's mailing lists, please subscribe directly! Only direct subscribers will receive the newsletter in their inbox going forward. For actual news: World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO passes a treaty requiring disclosure of Traditional Knowledge in patent applications. Documentary filmmakers ask US courts to protect fair use. I consider whether UK press injunctions serve justice and informed public discussion (conclusion: in at least some cases, not really!). And COMMUNIA issues briefs on Article 17 and e-lending. Meanwhile, AI search results can't tell parody from fact - and encourage eating rocks and adding glue to pasta as a thickening agent. Queries like these, it turns out, require 500ml (16oz) of Iowa water to process - just as the region emerges from drought! Plus: Criterion Channel's 24/7 stream revives the TV experience. 38% of webpages from 2013 are gone. Part One of Abel Gance's 7-hour version of Napoleon is screened at Cannes, for the first time since 1927, in a new restoration. The British Museum uncovers half of its missing artifacts (the rest of the world knows where to look for theirs...) The US Justice Department files against TicketMaster, related to reasons you can probably guess if you've ever bought a concert ticket. And Dr. William Darler considers whether AI can support diversity.

#AI and #Copyright: Interesting update by Paul Keller on the LAION case currently pending before the Hamburg regional court, focussing on the TDM exception and the question what constitutes a valid "opt- out" from that exception in a "machine-readable" form under Art. 4 (3) of the DSM Copyright Directice and German law. As the first known case in Germany on the issue, it will likely have a big impact on the assessment of opt-outs as currently seen in a variety of ways to the use of protected content for purposes of #machinelearning and #AITraining.

Last week, The IPKat reported on some interesting cases, especially in #trademark and #copyright law. Here's what was covered: - An #EU General Court ruling on the #distinctiveness and #descriptiveness of "Hinterland" - A decision of the Board of Appeal of the #EUIPO demonstrating the significance of submitting good evidence to prove the genuine use of a trade mark - A decision from the Turkish Court of Cassation tackling the complexities of registering a song as a #soundmark - A comparison between African language datasets and music split sheets to address the #jointauthorship issue of these datasets - A book review - A roundup of upcoming #IP events and job opportunities It's never too late to check out these articles for in-depth analysis and keep up with the recent developments!

In today’s Client Update, Partner Ari Juliano Gema, Senior Associate nalendra wibowo, as well as Associates Achmad Faisal Rachman and Nasya Ayudianti Ramadhani, discuss the new Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 15 of 2024 on the Management of Royalties for Secondary Licensing of Copyright of Books and Other Literary Works. This regulation provides legal certainty for the duplication of books in various forms, ensuring authors and copyright holders receive fair compensation for secondary uses, including AI training and non-commercial activities that impact their interests. Key provisions include licensing mechanisms, limitations on secondary use, and the role of Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) in collecting and distributing royalties. This move aims to optimise royalty mechanisms, maximise earnings for authors, and reduce future disputes.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights passed a new regulation to manage royalties for secondary licensing of the copyright of books and literary works, a move which aims to provide legal certainty and fair remuneration for authors and copyright holders. Key highlights of this new regulation: • Secondary users, including AI developers, photocopy businesses, or education institutions, must pay royalties to the Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) for commercial purposes or non-commercial use that harms the author's interests. • CMOs will collect and distribute royalties, ensuring authors receive fair compensation. • Education institutions and micro/small enterprises can request for tariff adjustments to reduce royalties. This regulation marks a significant step towards protecting intellectual property rights to better maximise the amount of royalties that authors and copyright holders may receive. 🔊 Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on all the latest legal updates! 🔊 Click here to learn more about this new regulation: https://lnkd.in/gyGng7Jc Learn more about our Indonesian member firm Assegaf Hamzah & Partners here: https://www.ahp.id/  Ari Juliano Gema: https://lnkd.in/g-DAFXQz #ClientUpdate #Royalty #Books #LiteraryWorks #Copyright #Licensing #IP #intellectualproperty #humanrights #books #authors #Regulations #legal #law #lawyer #Indonesia #southeastasia #asia #RajahTannAsia #RTA #LawyersWhoKnowAsia #LWKA

Clumsy copy for scientific cover artwork 2 years ago we created the cover art for Dr. Mojtaba Abdi-Jalebi's lab which the subject was related to perovskite structures and the cover was published in February 2023. Unbelievably, we understood in May 2024 the cover of Energy Advances was published with a clumsy copy. Although, it is routine in art to catch ideas from other artists and artworks, following some principles shouldn't be overlooked. Usually, the authors and designers sign the journal copyright form, but they should consider if they don't follow the copyright, it will endanger their reputation in scientific society. The case of the Energy Advances cover art from May 2024 serves as a reminder that even unintentional similarities can lead to questions of originality.
