ABSTRACT
In the digital age, the concept of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is undergoing a profound transformation. The surge in digital content creation and dissemination has given rise to a myriad of challenges and opportunities. This paper delves into the dynamic landscape of IPR, focusing on key issues and innovations. It explores the complexities of copyright protection in the digital realm, the intricacies of patent rights in an era of rapid technological advancements, and the emergence of novel forms of intellectual property.
As the digital age reshapes traditional notions of creativity, access, and innovation, it is imperative to strike a delicate balance between safeguarding creators’ rights and fostering an environment that encourages the free flow of knowledge and ideas. This research sheds light on the evolving domain of IPR, offering fresh perspectives on how it intersects with technology and society, thereby paving the way for a sustainable future in the digital era.
