Public Meeting on Facilitating the Development of the Online Licensing Environment for Copyrighted Works

The Internet Policy Task Force will hold a public meeting on April 1, 2015, to explore further development of a robust online licensing environment, focusing specifically on how the Government can assist in facilitating the development and use of standard identifiers for all types of works of authorship, interoperability among databases and systems used to identify owners of rights and terms of use, and a possible portal for linking to such databases and to licensing platforms.

The public meeting will be held at the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the Singapore and Venice Rooms of the Global Intellectual Property Academy on the second floor of the Madison Building, which is located at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
