AmCham Intellectual Property Committee

Intellectual property is thegreatest competitive advantage of any company and of a country as a whole. Knowledge, innovation, and creativity are the core values on which we must build economic and social development.

Key areas of the Committee’s work

The importance of protecting intellectual property in business

Technology entrepreneurship requires a supportive research infrastructure and highly skilled human resources, which are an integral part of the story of all globally successful technology companies. In Slovenia, this area is still underdeveloped, which is due to weak legislation and case law. At the same time, the Committee notes that there is still insufficient understanding of the importance of IP protection and rights ownership, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, and we will pay particular attention to this area.

Transfer of knowledge from research institutions to business

We are working for closer links between universities and education and research institutions and business. Universities need to become a focal point for research and development and enable the best possible commercialization of inventions and other intellectual property rights. Businesses and their vision and development plans must become an important bridge between education and research institutions and the needs of the market and wider society.

The problem of inventions and copyright in the employment relationship

A well-regulated field of inventions and employment-related copyright is crucial for the successful development of companies and individuals, who are the backbone of the development of new technological and business solutions and who have been the focus of the Committee’s attention for several years. Based on international practices, we want to propose legislation that is modern, easy to understand, and makes it as easy as possible for companies to evaluate inventions for the benefit of the employee and the employer.

The upcoming Digital Regulatory Package – "Europe's Digital Decade"

In the coming years, it will be crucial to understand the European digital regulatory framework being developed by the European Union as part of the “Digital Decade for Europe”. This includes some of the key legislative packages that will significantly shape the European and Slovenian digital landscape: the Digital Services and Markets Act, the Artificial Intelligence Act, the ePrivacy Regulation, data access rules, and many other related regulations.
