The main aspect of interest of the Partners of the Office remains a widely understood issue of intellectual property – including copyrights and neighboring rights, industrial property, as well as collateral and supporting issues of the aforementioned.

Copyrights are not only – nowadays not even primarily – problems of the authors, those are the substantial elements of almost each activity.
