Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee
Welcome to the Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee webpage. The term 'intellectual property', as it is commonly referred to today, includes a diverse range of areas of law.
About the Committee
The main areas are patents, trade marks, copyright, trade secrets and unfair competition. Allied to these are a number of related areas including data protection, database protection, privacy, design rights, domain names and the like.
In the entertainment law area the key focus is on the creation, provision and delivery of content in relation to print, films, broadcasts, cable programmes, musical works and sound recordings. There is also involvement with media law including defamation and privacy and authors' rights in a more general sense.

The world has confronted one of the most challenging times in modern history. As a result of the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, countries have taken drastic measures to ensure the health and safety of their citizens, and to avoid an economic crash.
