Library-Related International Copyright Developments
The World Intellectual Property Organizations’s Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (WIPO SCCR) is meeting in Geneva from 21 November to 2 December.
Member states will, among other things, consider a draft treaty on copyright limitations and exceptions for libraries and archives. The draft treaty was prepared by IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations) in collaboration with others.
The Canadian Library Association (CLA) has observer status at the WIPO SCCR.
IFLA and CLA have both made statements in support of the draft treaty.
A background document on why this treaty is necessary was prepared by IFLA and its partners, and presented at the meeting.
