Agenda IDS: Major Copyright Theses: Plagiarism and Data Mining
The Dannemann Siemsen Institute (IDS) hosted a team of experts to discuss current research in the field of copyright law in the country, focusing on plagiarism and data mining, two topics that spark heated debates.
In this event, the following issues were discussed:
• The evolution of academic research on copyright law in the country, its challenges, and advancements.
• The doctrinal and judicial positions regarding criteria for analyzing plagiarism of works protected by copyright law.
