The draft of the "Intellectual Property Promotion Plan" to be compiled by the government has been clarified, and in order to make music and video easier to use, we have announced a policy to establish a centralized contact point for copyright inquiries.
The government will submit the necessary bills to the ordinary session of the Diet next year.
According to this, as the progress of digitalization activates creative activities on the Internet etc., it is necessary to make music and video easier for individuals and corporations to use by shortening the procedure and time for copyright processing. It is pointed out that there is.
For this reason, the government has announced a policy of establishing a database for all copyrights such as music and video, and establishing a centralized contact point for copyright usage and inquiries, including those for which the right holder is unknown. I am planning to submit the bill to the ordinary session of the Diet next year.
In addition, the system will be revised so that startup companies can utilize not only cash payments but also stocks and stock acquisition rights when using patents owned by universities, and small and medium-sized enterprises receive loans with intellectual property as collateral. It is clearly stated that we will consider establishing a "business growth security interest" so that it can be done.
The government will hold an Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters on the 3rd to decide on this plan.
