ABOUT THE REPORT:
After a brief introduction describing general trends affecting the
evolution of the Internet, the Survey addresses the evolving digital
economy and the migration of intellectual property to the Internet, as
well as the broader questions raised for intellectual property by the
impact of information and communications technologies in the digital
environment. The Survey focuses on recent developments in the traditional
fields of copyright, trademarks and patents, as well as domain names, and
progress in private international law and alternative dispute resolution.
It also explores the particular concerns that face developing countries in
e-development, and outlines the ways in which WIPO is addressing these
various issues.
