CLDP Convenes the Collective Management Roundtable

-

On January 25-27, in coordination with USAID, the Culture Committee of the Georgian Parliament, and Sakpatenti, Georgia’s Intellectual Property Agency, CLDP lead a Roundtable discussion regarding policy justifications and sample legislative language for amendments to Georgia’s Copyright Law to close ambiguities and better align Georgia’s collective management organization (CMO) regime with international best practice. Participants included advisors from international CMO umbrella organizations and the attorneys and staff from the Georgian Parliament and Sakpatenti who will be responsible for amending the law. CMOs enable creators and right holders to be compensated for uses of created works which they would not otherwise be able to manage themselves. The proposed amendments to Georgia’s law can promote and distribute foreign and domestic cultural, social, and economic value by strengthening fair, efficient, transparent, and accountable processes.
