About legal
Romania's accession to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, or Law 205/2000 for the ratification of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Treaty on Copyright, represent strong legal guarantees in the field of legal protection, copyright.
For those who want progress and especially for those who know how to apply it. Read the laws carefully! Everything is there. In front of the law, "everyone steps aside" and the discussion of negotiation or evaluation takes another totally unexpected turn.
Our legislation, in the process of aligning with international requirements, has been considerably enriched - see www.orda.ro. It is worth mentioning only Ordinance 124/2000 for completing the legal framework regarding copyright and related rights, by adopting measures to combat piracy in the audio and video fields, as well as computer programs.
But effective protection does not only concern the legal side of the problem but also that of everyday morality, because failure to respect intellectual property rights in any way can, legally speaking and in accordance with the Criminal Code, be qualified differently from case to case: abuse of trust, deception, putting counterfeit products into circulation, unfair competition.
This section aims to inform and raise awareness of the legal aspect in our work, because nothing should be left to chance.
