CONFERENCE OUTLINE
KnowRight conferences have been held since 1995. Traditionally they have been focusing on the interaction between Intellectual Property Rights, Information Rights, ethical issues, civil society and information technology. The 2008 edition of KnowRight will go beyond this traditional reach. It will be organized by the Austrian Computer Society OCG, supported by the German Computing Society GI and the German Society for Law and Informatics DGRI and take place in Krakow / Poland in cooperation with the Institute of Intellectual Property Law at the Jagiellonian University.
Academics, practitioners and researchers from throughout Europe and the United States will meet to discuss a broad range of issues arising in the context of the Information Society and a progressively electronic environment. Participation of a wide spectrum of vested interests will ensure a lively debate on issues such as access to information, computer crime, copy-left, data retention, digital libraries, e-commerce, e-government, e-justice, electronic civil society, free speech and homeland security, ICT and standardisation, IP and competition law, IP and development agenda, IP and innovation, IP and public policy considerations, new challenges for the enforcement of IPRs, open source, open content, preserving the public domain and rule of law in cyberspace.
