Issue of copyright protection has been a great initiative gaining laudable ground in the world of intellectual property law, as it seeks to protect and safeguard the ideas of the author for it not to be violated and infringed upon by another without the author's consent or authorization. In ensuring author's right, a plethora of international, regional, and even national legal dispositions has been put in place for guaranteeing that works of author's should be protected against infringement. In response to these commitments, the states of Ukraine and Jordan have played a credible role by adhering and been signatories to these legal dispositions to endure copyright protection. Even though with all these protection being put into place by the said countries, there is still an aspect of infringement and violations, which has frustrated the rational of the law as it is aimed at ensuring copyright protection. The objective of this article is to study the implications that copyright infringement poses on the fundamental rights of an author's work. It is clear that aspect of copyright infringement affects the rights possessed by author in issues related to copyright protection in Ukraine and Jordan. While answering the fundamental question as to the aspect of copyright infringement in both countries, a comparative study was deemed necessary in order to study whether both countries experience same difficulties as a result of copyright infringement. It was realized from the findings that issues of infringement, even though with the credible laws and institutions put in place by both countries, has been a common problem. Therefore, it has been noted that a research of this magnitude was deemed necessary in ensuring that copyright of author's should be guaranteed and protected.

Abstract This work sets out to consider the fate of creativity and forms of cultural production as they fall into and between the regimes of cultural heritage law and intellectual property law. It examines and challenges the dualisms that ground both regimes, exposing their (unsurprising) reflection of occidental ways of seeing the world. The work reflects on the problem of regulating creativity and cultural production according to Western thought systems in a world that is not only Western. At the same time, it accepts that the challenge in taking on the dualisms that hold together the existing legal regimes regulating creativity and cultural production lies in a critically nuanced approach to the geo-political distinction between the West and the rest. Like many of the distinctions considered in this book, this is one that holds and does not hold.

Systems of intellectual property law date back many centuries and play a very important role in the information technology field. The main forms of intellectual property law are patents, copyright and trade marks. All play important roles and are considered in this section of the book. Patents and copyright have been applied in an IT context from the early days of the computer whilst trade marks have come to assume more significance with the commercialization of the Internet and its use by major manufacturers who typically own many trade marks developed for use in the course of their activities in the physical environment. As with many areas, the connection between the real and virtual words is not exact. The application of the law of copyright to software has seldom been in doubt. It is clear that the unauthorized copying of all of a work is unlawful. What is not clear is the extent of the protection. The famous scientist Isaac Newton is quoted as saying “If I have seen further, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”. Most later works build to some extent on their predecessors and there is a difficult dividing line between fair and unfair use of such works. Somewhat different issues apply in relation to patents – a branch of the law which offers the strongest protection but does require that works be innovative and produce a technical effect – that they should do something. This can be difficult to assess in respect of very fast-moving technologies.

RESUMO: O trabalho objetivou investigar o entendimento de alguns autores quanto ao assunto, além de estudar o que são os direitos fundamentais ligados aos direitos da personalidade e direito à imagem e o que as doutrinas hodiernas falam sobre considerar direitos da personalidade direitos fundamentais, no âmbito do Direito Civil e no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual. Muito se tem discutido se o Direito à Imagem e de personalidade estariam no campo de proteção do Direito Civil ou no Direito da Propriedade Intelectual, com base no que dispõe o caput do art. 24 da Lei de Direitos Autorais que dispõe sobre a proteção aos direitos morais do autor, inclusive o de se manter no anonimato, através das obras pseudônimas ou de não ver publicado certas obras por este escritas, mantendo-as inéditas ou escritas por outras pessoas, mas que digam respeito a sua pessoa. O STF em decisão unânime declarou inexigível o consentimento de pessoa biografada relativamente a obras biográficas literárias ou audiovisuais. A problemática residiu na possibilidade da existência desses direitos e na possibilidade da tutela transversal, onde o uso não autorizado de imagem encontra limitações firmadas pela doutrina e jurisprudência, como a exploração econômica da vítima que teve suas obras expostas na mídia sem autorização e, a depender do conteúdo, a denegrição da imagem. Concluiu-se que os direitos supramencionados são frutos de uma evolução jurídica em que os sistemas jurídicos contemporâneos se constituem com o dos Direitos estudados. Para tanto se utilizou do método de revisão bibliográfica qualitativa de abordagem dedutiva.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Direitos autorais, Direitos morais do autor, Responsabilidade civil. Right to Image and the Right to Personality: a parallel between Civil Law and Intellectual Property Law ABSTRACT: This work aims to investigate the understanding of some authors on the subject, as well as to study what are the fundamental rights related to personality rights and the right to image and what current doctrines speak about considering rights of personality fundamental rights in the scope of Law Civil and Intellectual Property Law. Much has been debated whether the Right to Image and personality would be in the field of protection of Civil Law or Intellectual Property Law, based on what the caput of art. 24 of the Copyright Law that provides for the protection of the author's moral rights, including to remain anonymous, through pseudonymous works or not to see published works by this writing, keeping them unpublished or written by other people, but which concern your person. The STF in a unanimous decision declared the consent of a person biographical in relation to biographical literary or audiovisual works unenforceable. The problem lies in the possibility of the existence of these rights and in the possibility of transverse protection, where the unauthorized use of image has limitations established by the doctrine and jurisprudence, such as the economic exploitation of the victim who had his works exposed in the media without authorization and depending of content, denigrating the image. It is concluded that the above rights are the result of a legal evolution in which the contemporary legal systems are constituted with the rights studied. For this purpose, the method of qualitative bibliographical review of the deductive approach will be used.KEYWORDS: Copyright, Author's moral rights, Civil liability.

This chapter examines the protection of both cultural heritage and intellectual property. The relationship between cultural heritage and intellectual property evolves in a profoundly complex setting—with many institutions and actors involved, often with very different or even divergent interests, and within a fragmented legal regime. Although intellectual property law has developed sophisticated rules with regard to a variety of intellectual property forms, it is based on certain author-centred and mercantilist premises that do not work so well with the protection of traditional knowledge (TK) and traditional cultural expressions (TCE). Nevertheless, in the fields of patent, trademark, and copyright protection, there are tools that may provide some, albeit imperfect, protection of TK and TCE. The chapter maps the mismatches and the gaps and asks whether these can be addressed in some viable way—be it through adjusting the existing rules or through the creation of new tailored models of protection.

This chapter provides an accessible introduction to intellectual property (IP) law. It provides and challenges some definitions of intellectual property law and IP itself. It discusses the development of IP law as a field of study in an increasingly global context and presents a realistic view of the law as it actually operates; the relationships between different levels of IP law—at national, European, European Union, and international levels; the various influences on the formation, justifications for, and development of IP law including between IP law and other legal fields; and the tensions that arise from different perspectives when the law seeks to protect IP.

Digital technology is detaching information from the physical plane, where property law of all sorts has always found definition. Throughout the history of intellectual property law, the proprietary assertions of thinkers and inventors have been focused not on their ideas, but on the expression of those ideas. The ideas themselves, as well as facts about the phenomena of the world, were considered to be the collective property of humanity. One could claim franchise, in the case of copyright, on the precise turn of phrase used to convey a particular idea or the order in which facts were presented. Law protected expression. To express was to make physical. One did not get paid for the idea but for the ability to deliver it into reality. The value was in the conveyance and not the thought conveyed. In other words, the bottle was protected, not the wine. (Barlow, 2004)

This chapter introduces the reader with the specificity of the development of a particular type of legal ontology, that is ontology of copyright law. The process of the development of this ontology (ALIS IP Ontology) should be seen as a miniature guide for anyone who will pursuit a goal to create an ontology for any sphere of law. In this chapter the development of the copyright ontology is not addressed separately as such, but in vaster perspective, analyzing not only particular problems that the development of the legal ontology implies, but also looking at the ontology development issues in the light of the general relation that the law (and intellectual property law in particular) has with the IT domain.
