Presentation: copyright and innovation in the digital age: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Professor Brian Fitzgerald and Rami Olwan   
Tuesday, 02 June 2009 07:16

The rise of digital networked technologies has meant that copyright is now central to most everything we do from recreation to research. Every time we use digital technology – which needs to reproduce and communicate to operate - we automate the possibility of copyright infringement.

The purpose of this presentation is to consider how copyright law in its current form fits the challenges of the digital age and in particular how it might be improved to promote the possibilities for innovation especially in developing countries.  We take the Federal Law No. (7) of 2002 (UAE) Pertaining to Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights as our case study.
