Russia needs to build a favorable environment for the protection of intellectual property to make content creation profitable for its owners, Google Russia's Communication Director Marina Zhunich said Tuesday
A representative from the Education Ministry said the intellectual property protection strategy needs to focus on three components: a flexible state-owned electronic system to provide registration and administration services to copyright owners; an effective mechanism to deal with copyright breaches and disputes; and development of a digitally-minded creative community.
This strategy will strengthen the country's creative industry, create new workplaces and prevent the recently established Intellectual Property Court from being clogged up with cases that can be mediated and resolved outside the court room, he said.
