Intellectual property as a harmony of rights discussed at the AUTHOR-2025 conference

The fifth international conference “AUTHOR-2025”, dedicated to World IP Day and the World Book and Copyright Day, is held this year under the slogan “Harmony and Beats of IP”.

EAPO President Grigory Ivliev compared musical harmony with the complex system of objective and subjective IP law, where different elements consider the interests of society, authors, and business community. He called for a rhythmic and dynamic development of legal regulation to more effectively protect IP rights and stimulate creativity.

“Just as the simultaneous combination of sounds in chords creates harmony in music, the Eurasian patent system in conjunction with national and international patent systems, creates harmony in industrial property in the Eurasian region.

And just as the creative potential of music is unlimited, where only seven notes allow for the continuous creation of masterpieces, so is the creative potential in science and technology. This means that intellectual property is inexhaustible, and inventions will be created as long as humanity exists,” said Grigory Ivliev.
