As a follow up to the international workshop of the same name held in 2015, CLDP, in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, designed and implemented the Workshop on Collective Copyright Management in Ukraine II. The workshop took place in Kyiv, Ukraine, on July 23 – 25, 2018.

The workshop gathered representatives of the Ukrainian government, Ukrainian expert community and right holders, as well as representatives of U.S. and international collective copyright management organizations.

International advisors, including experts from international collective management organizations and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), reviewed the provisions of the newly adopted Ukrainian collective copyright management law, as presented by the representatives of MEDT, and made specifics recommendations on suggested further changes in the Ukrainian collective copyright management system in Ukraine.

These suggestions will help the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade develop legislative, regulatory, and procedural solutions in line with internationally accepted standards and best practices - to the remaining issues of the collective copyright management system in Ukraine in the light of the newly adopted law.
