The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) has submitted its response to the call for evidence by Professor Hargreaves and his team to contribute to his Review of Intellectual Property and Growth. This is the latest in a number of recent reviews of the UK intellectual property framework seeking to ensure that the regime is fit for purpose in the digital age.
The ALPSP believes that the existing IP framework in the UK is appropriate, effective and balanced and has contributed substantially to the innovation and growth of the UK publishing industry. Further, it feels that the intellectual property framework needs to be backed by education and appropriate enforcement.
The ALPSP welcomes additional measures supporting the enforcement of copyright
infringement and the introduction of more widespread expression of digital rights to
assist with the education of users of copyright material. Collective management
organisations have an important role to play in assisting the end-user, the Association has said.
