Intellectual property enforcement in cyberspace requires stronger international cooperation and technological measures to protect creators' rights.
The protection of intellectual property in cyberspace requires reinforcing enforcement through international cooperation, legislative reform, and technological measures. Existing multilateral and domestic instruments-such as TRIPS and the DMCA-provide minimum standards and procedural devices like notice-and-takedown and intermediary safe harbours but face practical and jurisdictional limits. Effective protection therefore calls for harmonised cross-border standards, clarified intermediary liability and remedies, and the adoption of technological protections (digital rights management, watermarking, automated detection) implemented with safeguards for access, free expression, and legitimate use.
