Washington, D.C. 20508 Re: IIPA Written Submission Regarding 2017 Special 301 Review: Identification of Countries Under Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974: Request for Public Comment and Notice of Public Hearing, 81 Fed. Reg. 95722 (Dec. 28, 2016) Dear Mr. Mehta: The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) provides this response to the above-captioned Federal Register Notice requesting written submissions from the public concerning intellectual property protection and market access regimes in U.S. trading partners, in the “Special 301” review.1 The ultimate goal of Special 301 is not to catalogue trade barriers as such, but rather to enhance the ability of U.S. creators to reach foreign markets through legitimate channels, physical and online. To do this, these markets need copyright laws that meet high standards for protection; efficient copyright enforcement; sound legal structures that enable healthy licensing markets; and elimination of market access barriers and unfair competition. Markets with these features also help our trading partners to develop, nurture, and enjoy the benefits of their own local cultural and creative output. The real beneficiary is the consumer, who will have greater access, through more avenues than ever before, to increasingly diverse creative output—the literary works, music, movies, and TV programming, video games, software, and other products and services that depend on and are protected by copyright. With this broad vision in mind, IIPA has participated in every Special 301 review since the 1988 Trade Act created this process to help the U.S. Government identify “foreign countries that deny adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights or deny fair and equitable market access to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual property protection.”2 This year, as in the past reviews, we provide public comments on acts, practices and policies of our key trading partners that present obstacles to achieving this vision. Changing market conditions and new technologies continue to create enormous opportunities, with huge potential to expand economic growth and creative activity in key foreign markets. Unfortunately, much of this potential for economic and creative growth has gone unrealized, because of inadequate copyright protection and market access barriers. IIPA’s recommendations therefore also discuss emerging best practices to address these issues. This year’s IIPA Submission focuses on markets where we believe active engagement by the U.S. Government will reap positive results for creators and the industries that support them. In particular, we highlight key opportunities to enforce specific obligations to the United States that many of these countries have taken on over the past years, in trade agreements and otherwise, but which remain unfulfilled. If the challenges to the creative 1IIPA will file under separate cover a Notice of Intent to Testify at the March 8, 2017 public hearing on Special 301. 219 U.S.C. section 2242(a)(1). 8601359.1 IIPA 2017 Special 301 Letter to USTR, February 9, 2017, page ii industries identified in this submission can be met and addressed, that will create more good jobs, promote exports, and contribute generally to healthy economic growth in the U.S. and abroad. We applaud USTR for making the Special 301 process a positive catalyst for change to address our creative industries’ challenges in key markets around the world. We also commend USTR for maintaining Special 301’s focus on improving copyright protection and enforcement. This is clearly what Congress intended. IIPA’s 2017 Submission includes this letter and two appendices. In Appendix A, IIPA provides reports on 16

  • The-Evolution-Of-The-OTT-TV-Market-January-2017.Pdf
    BSAC Business Briefing The Evolution of the OTT TV Market January 2017 This paper was commissioned by BSAC and presented at a BSAC Council Meeting on 13 October 2016 accompanied by a complementary presentation and discussion by Ben Keen. It was subsequently revised and published in January 2017. Cutting the pay TV cord? Over the Top (OTT) television has become a shorthand term for a range of different online video services that may circumvent existing pay TV and broadcast business models, using the Internet as a means of distributing ‘Over The Top’ of those legacy services. The context of OTT growth is a slowing global pay TV market. Whilst still the dominant business model, pay TV operators all over the world are now experiencing slowing growth rates in their core subscriber metrics. To date, North America is the only region where there are signs that the traditional pay TV sector is actually contracting in size, prompting fears that consumers are genuinely starting to ‘cut the pay TV cord’. However, the industry has justifiable concerns that ‘cord cutting’ will eventually spread to all markets around the world as OTT alternatives become more attractive. BSAC Business Briefing: The Evolution of the OTT TV Market January 2017 1 The largest European pay TV operator by subscriber count is Liberty Global, which has been building scale through a series of acquisitions. Close behind Liberty is Sky Europe, which operates in Italy and Germany as well as the UK. All of the other top ranked pay TV players in Europe are primarily known as ‘telcos’ – but most use a variety of different distribution technologies to deliver their video services to paying customers (cable, satellite, IPTV and terrestrial).

    LE RÔLE CENTRAL DES NOMS DE DOMAINE DAVID CHELLY Naming Start-up Référencement Nommage 1 Avant-propos Il est d’usage de démarrer un ouvrage en adressant ses remerciements à ses proches, puis d’inviter une ou plusieurs personnes de référence du secteur à écrire la préface, c’est-à-dire à passer la pommade à l’auteur pour son formidable travail. Cet ouvrage vous épargne ces conventions à l’utilité relative et vous invite dès à présent à un voyage dans l’étonnant monde des noms de domaine. Dans l’écosystème de l’internet, les noms de domaine occupent une place transversale. Ils sont utilisés par une multitude d’acteurs, depuis les webmasters indépendants jusqu’aux informaticiens, juristes et marketeurs dans les entreprises, en passant par les bureaux d’enregistrement, les agences web et les investisseurs en noms de domaine. C’est à l’ensemble de ces professionnels que s’adresse ce livre, avec l’ambition d’offrir une vision globale et transdisciplinaire des possibilités offertes par les noms de domaine. Cette problématique est particulièrement d’actualité, puisque l’on est passé en quelques années de moins de deux cent cinquante extensions de noms de domaine disponibles à plus de mille cinq cents aujourd’hui, ce qui pose une multitude de questions en termes de protection juridique, de référencement et de branding. Les étudiants spécialisés dans l’internet, les chercheurs d’emploi et les personnes en reconversion professionnelle pourront également trouver un intérêt à la lecture de cet ouvrage, dans le sens où les opportunités d’emploi sont considérables dans ce secteur en fort essor, mais peu abordé dans les programmes des formations académiques.
