Call for Chapter *Intangible Cultural Heritage and Intellectual property*
*Intangible Cultural
Heritage and Intellectual property*
If you have expertise in
these areas, I would love you to contribute to the book Transboundary Heritage and
Intellectual Property Law: Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage (Routledge, 2021)
You will be invited to write a chapter (8,000 words --
all inclusive: footnotes and bibliography). Drafts are due by the 31st of April
2021 (for internal peer-review purposes). If you would like to co-author the
piece with someone, this is also welcome.
To maximize the potential impact of the volume in
connecting transboundary heritage studies more firmly to intellectual property
law, I kindly ask you to consider a chapter on ‘ownership’ bearing in mind that
the book is interdisciplinary, so contemplate a reader that has no law
background. I ask you to reflect on the following matters when drafting your
chapter:
1. Concepts of property rights, possession rights and
responsibilities; including collective rights, and control access. This should
focus on key legal concepts.
2. Desires for access and control over traditional
knowledge, and genetic resources.
3. Traditional proprietary system and how they operate
in different contexts, for instance: civil law, common law, national law,
international law, and customary law.
4. How does the law operate in practice in relation to
transboundary intangible cultural heritage?
5. What are the flaws of the system? Suggestions to
improve are welcome.
6. Please provide short examples if possible or you
can develop the chapter on a case study.
Finally, if you would like to contribute, please
submit an abstract of 400 words to me by the 8th of March, 2021. This will
allow the editor to give some guidance at the early stages of preparation of
the manuscript. In your abstract, please include the central thesis and the
structure. Also, include a short biography and contact details.

A Presidential candidate that finished in a copyright infringement battle - welcome to Peru
Mr Acuña was accused of copying his doctoral thesis (submitted at the Universidad Complutense, Madrid, in 2009) as well as his master’s thesis (submitted at the Universidad de los Andes, Colombia) and a whole book (authored in fact by Peruvian Professor Otoniel Oyarce Alvarado). As these accusations were so strong the Peruvian National Institute for the Defence of Competition and Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi) decided to investigate the accusations (Organization and Functions Act and Decree Legislative 822 gives INDECOPI the powers to investigate acts affecting copyright and related rights within the country).
In the procedure, INDECOPI’s Copyright Commission concluded that:
• Mr Acuña Peralta infringed the moral right of paternity: claiming to be co-author of the book although the only author is Otoniel Alvarado Oyarce.
• The UCV infringed the moral right of paternity since it published the book, attributing sole authorship to Mr César Acuña; and so giving authorship to the book to a third party other than its creator.
• The UCV made another publication which although correctly attributed authorship to Otoniel Oyarce Alvarado, on the credits page of that book the copyright sign ( © ) was added next to Mr Acuña Peralta name, who is also mentioned as an author in the preface. By this the publisher granted authorship to the book to a third party other than its creator.
• In these two published books the Commission noted that the moral right of integrity of the author was also infringed since at least one paragraph of that work was mutilated.
• The patrimonial right of distribution was also infringed since both publications are kept and loaned at the Resource Center for Learning and Research of the UCV. The INDECOPI has ordered to withdraw from circulation such copies.
• In the proceedings against the UCV INDECOPI also found that there was infringement of the moral right of paternity of the author of the prologue of such books. The prologue was written by the priest Otoniel Ricardo Morales Basadre for Oyarce Alvarado. Both publications were altered and so, changing the name for the person for whom he wrote the foreword.
In regards to the doctoral thesis the Copyright Commission sanctioned with fines to Mr Acuña Peralta due to reproducing fragments of works of others without acknowledging the authorship of them; therefore the Commission concluded that Mr Acuña Peralta infringed the moral right of paternity of those authors.
INDECOPI notes that this “decision may be appealed to the Special Branch Intellectual Property of INDECOPI, which is the second and final administrative authority” of the INDECOPI.

Trends in IP...info that you must know
As expected the event will give you an opportunity of getting aware of the “framework and the trends relevant to properly understand the state of trademarks, patent and R&D management”. The event will launch a book in which the iptango blog has been used as one of the many sources. [Many thanks, nice to hear than someone is following the blog and moreover using it as a reliable source].

INDECOPI tries to stop counterfeited book
A pirated version of 'La Guia de Gaston - un dato para cada antojo' (Gaston’s Guide – a note for every craving) by the renowned chef Gaston Acurio, is being marketed directly on the streets of Lima and the southern beaches in Peru. The INDECOPI, through the Directorate of Copyright, requested the intervention of the Provincial Criminal Attorneys Specializing in Intellectual Property, municipalities and the National Police to combat the reproduction, distribution and sale of this pirated version.While I support the INDECOPI’s action, I wonder what the editor, publisher and/or the author are doing to stop the infringement of the book. There is clearly a cause of action in here, don’t you think?
