The study finds that piracy mainly affects creative works recently produced and released. TV series are the most frequently pirated creative works but the relationship between piracy and popularity of the corresponding legal content is more difficult to ascertain, as is also the case for music. The study also looks at the tastes of consumers of pirated content across the EU, and finds a high degree of homogeneity among the Member States, especially for film....Manje

In total, 25 636 interviews were conducted with EU residents aged 15 and above. The 2020 IP Perception study aims to gather knowledge on Europeans’ attitudes towards IP, the degree to which they respect these rights, and the concept that they have of IP as a whole. This is the 3rd edition of this study and shows a gradual and encouraging change in understanding and attitudes following the previous EUIPO surveys conducted in2013 and 2017....Manje

This drives major innovation in the field of automated content recognition (ACR) technologies that are now deployed for a broad range of purposes. As a first step to understand the impact of such technologies on intellectual property, this discussion paper describes the functioning of hashing, watermarking, fingerprinting or AI-based solutions, and their uses for content recognition. It explores the advantages and limitations of each of these technologies, as well as how they can be combined to optimise content recognition. This first phase analysis will be followed by a second phase focusing on use cases of ACR technologies to support the protection or management of IP....Manje

It is based on a sample of more than 63 000 companies across all Member States. The study shows that firms that use multiple IP rights (IPRs) account for a disproportionate share of employment and turnover among the firms in the sample. Larger firms tend to have more IPR bundles than SMEs. Patents are the right most frequently combined with other IPRs. The study also found significant differences in the bundling of IPRs across sectors of the economy, with firms in the manufacturing sector much more likely to bundle IPRs than those in the services sector....Manje
