Official Communication with Reference to the Results of the Working Meeting on Some Topics in the Field of Copyright and Related Rights

04/09/2024

The State Agency on Intellectual Property (AGEPI) organized a working meeting on 03.04.2024, at the request of the Association of Copyright Holders of Moldova “MORA” (P.A. MORA) (No. 169CH/2024 of 15.03.2024), attended by the representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitization, the Public Association “AUTORITY”, the Public Association “National Association of Phonogram Producers and Performers” (NAPPP) and the Public Association “National Association “COPYRIGHT””( NA “COPYRIGHT”).

Although the meeting was organized at the request of this entity, following the invitation launched by AGEPI and the confirmation regarding participation in the meeting, it took place in the absence of the representative of P.A. “MORA”, due to no-show. Thus, before the expected time of the meeting (about 20 min.), AGEPI received the electronic message from the P.A. “MORA” accompanied by the information letter by which it informed that following the convening of the meeting of the P.A. “MORA” Council of 03.04.2024, it was decided on the prohibition/non-participation of its representatives at the meeting thus organized.

Regarding the topics invoked by P.A. “MORA” in request No. 169CH/2024 of 15.03.2024, as well as the alleged accusations submitted in relation to AGEPI and the employees of the institution, all of these are unfounded, not being accompanied by any evidence or proof. At the same time, during the working session, representatives of NA “COPYRIGHT” and NAPPP informed those present of all the relevant information. Thus, the meeting was recorded in minutes, which contains both the letter of information from P.A. “MORA”, as well as the information presented by NA “COPYRIGHT” and NAPPP and which can be accessed below.

It should be mentioned that AGEPI, in its capacity as a public authority responsible for promoting and carrying out activities in the field of legal protection of intellectual property relating to industrial property rights, copyright and related rights, is always open to launch discussion platforms on topics related to its fields of competence, appreciating, in such situations, the availability of all interested parties to follow the invitations submitted.

At the same time, the invited parties are informed of the provisions of Art. 80(3) of the Administrative Code, according to which “if, after sending the response, a new petition is submitted by the same petitioner, with the same object, it shall not be examined and shall be connected to the initial case”.
