Paper presented at the International Conference on Intellectual Property, The Internet, Electronic Commerce and Traditional Knowledge, Sofia, Bulgaria May 29 - 31, 2001
Intellectual property right is assuming increasing importance in every facet of life today beyond what it had been originally as a result of new developments in modern science and technology as well as challenges arising from the competitive nature of international trade. Nations, world over, have indeed been compelled to pay greater attention to the development of intellectual property and its protection. The application of new technologies to the creation, production and distribution of works of the mind have also tended to blur the frontiers established by the traditional concepts of intellectual property. The result is that nations are increasingly faced with new developments and challenges in the protection, management and enforcement of intellectual property rights. It has therefore become imperative for nations to cooperate in the exchange of intellectual information in mastering the new developments and challenges posed by the technological evolution of our age. It is on this note that a conference of this nature is highly commended.
