Discovering Korea-Philippines Copyright Cooperation Projects

'Intergovernmental Copyright Meeting and Forum' in Manila

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, and the Philippine Intellectual Property Office will hold the "Korea-Philippines Intergovernmental Copyright Meeting and Forum" in Manila, Philippines, on the 14th and 15th. During the meeting, both countries will share trends and issues in copyright policies and identify cooperative projects. As a bill granting the Intellectual Property Office the authority to block access to copyright-infringing websites is being discussed in the Philippine Congress, they will consider expanding cooperation areas such as copyright protection technology exchange and joint response to infringements.

The forum will share the latest trends related to copyright laws and systems under the theme "Music Copyright Policy and Activation Strategies in the Digital Environment." It will also discuss ways to strengthen cooperation among music trust management organizations in the new technological environment.

Presenters include Jin-tae Lee, Head of the Review Industry Statistics Team at the Korea Copyright Commission; Malvik Benedicto, President of the Philippine Association of the Record Industry; Thursday Alciso, Secretary-General of the Philippine Music Copyright Association; Mitch Valdez, President of the Philippine Performing Artists Association; Ki-seop Yoo, Director of the Korea Music Copyright Association; and Hoon Jung, Director of the Korea Federation of Performing Artists. Seong-hwan Lim, Director of the Copyright Bureau at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, expressed expectations that "this will be an important opportunity to drive the growth of the legal music markets in both countries."
