WIPO has published a series of tools for some of the largest creative sectors.
Making a living in the creative industries means many different things to different people. For some it represents an ideal of creative freedom, for others a business strategy. Individual motivations and roles are as varied as the activities that make up the creative industries - a sector that includes a range of activities from architecture to production of video games.
WIPO has published a series of tools for some of the largest creative sectors.
These are comprehensive guides to the history, structure, operating principles and rights management arrangements of entire industries, from inception of creative ideas to the ways in which individual consumers interact with those ideas now and for the future.
THE CREATIVE ECONOMY, OF WHICH COPYRIGHT AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ARE A PART, DESCRIBES AN ENTIRE SYSTEM OF RELATIONSHIPS IN THE POST-INDUSTRIAL
Knowledge-based economy where creativity is an essential feature and driving factor for competitiveness and economic growth. It represents a new, global awareness of the role of creativity and innovation. This model is entirely underpinned by intellectual property rights and their contribution to economic, social and cultural development.
