WIPO First Outreach on the International Music Registry (IMR) for
Users in Geneva, April 24, 2012

 The growth of the Internet as a delivery mechanism for music over the
last decade has challenged the music rights management architecture.
The need to make it faster, easier, and simpler to find who owns what
rights in music has become increasingly important, not just in the
developed countries, but throughout the world and points to the need
for an international system that ‘ties together’ the different
rights-management systems currently in use in different countries.

A single, authoritative source of information about rights in music is
a universal and essential good for the development of a healthy
digital market for creative content.  To achieve this goal the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is providing technical and
administrative support to the International Music Registry (IMR)
Dialogue <http://www.internationalmusicregistry.org/portal/en/index.html>,
which engages stakeholders from all sectors of the music industry and
all regions in the world.  The IMR is global in nature and intends not
to rival any existing copyright infrastructure but to establish a
system that will enhance existing databases and identifiers and act as
a platform for their interoperability.

With this vision, a recent Study on the Role and Functions of the
International Music Registry
<
http://www.internationalmusicregistry.org/portal/en/news/2012/news_0002.html
>
 identified a number of functions that can be undertaken at the
international level with the support of WIPO to achieve the objective
of an effective copyright infrastructure in the digital era.  A series
of IMR dialogues has been launched to look at different alternatives
and to seek greater involvement of right owners and users from all
regions of the world.

In the context of this, WIPO is organizing the first IMR briefing for
users at the WIPO headquarters in Geneva, on Tuesday April 24, 2012.
The meeting will serve to showcase developments in this initiative as
well as to discuss the modalities of possible involvement of users in
the future.   Participation is opened to users.
