     The Conference

The management of intellectual property in the online environment poses
significant opportunities as well as challenges, and raises high stakes
as the value of online transactions, both authorized and unauthorized,
increases. Internet intermediaries, as providers of services that enable
these transactions to occur, are at the center of global debate
involving complex policy, legal and business issues.

To help obtain a better understanding of these issues, the WIPO
Copyright Sector is organizing a Seminar on Copyright and Internet
Intermediaries, in Geneva on April 18, 2005.

The Seminar is designed to provide a forum for discussion among
international experts and business leaders, academics, government
delegates and policy makers. It will address various ways to approach
issues relating to secondary liability of those who act as online
intermediaries, including Internet service providers (ISPs), providers
of file-sharing services, auction sites and portals.
