WIPO Connect is an IT solution developed and offered by WIPO, the World Intellectual Property Organization (Switzerland), designed to facilitate the collective management of copyright and related rights, including local and central modules.
Collective rights management organizations (CRMOs) manage copyright and related rights on behalf of rights holders.
A key challenge for users is to properly manage the vast amounts of data and information they collect about their members, their works and other creative contributions.
Thus, documentation is vital for the smooth functioning of PCOs at the national, regional and international level. OCUPs need to collect information about copyright holders and works, such as identifiers, names and aliases, titles, shares, sub-publications and licensing agreements. This information allows OCUPs to collect royalties and distribute them to copyright holders.
WIPO Connect is an efficient, highly suitable and customizable solution designed to facilitate the day-to-day operations of PCOs and their collaboration with PCOs from other countries.
In August 2023, in accordance with Article 76 of the Agreement on Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the European Union (“to improve the management of PCOs by introducing measures “to achieve a higher level of rationalization and transparency in relation to the implementation of the tasks of their PCOs”) RPO “KazAK” » acquired the specialized program WIPO Connect from WIPO – the World Intellectual Property Organization.

WIPO Connect — это ИТ-решение, разработанное и предлагаемое WIPO, Всемирной Организацией Интеллектуальной Собственности (Швейцария), предназначенное для облегчения коллективного управления авторскими и смежными правами, включая локальный и центральный модули.
Организации коллективного управления правами (ОКУПы) управляют авторскими и смежными правами от имени правообладателей.
Ключевой проблемой для пользователей является правильное управление огромными объемами данных и информации, которые они собирают о своих членах, их работах и другом творческом вкладе.
Таким образом, документация жизненно важна для бесперебойного функционирования ОКУПов на национальном, региональном и международном уровне. ОКУПам необходимо собирать информацию о правообладателях и произведениях, такую как идентификаторы, имена и псевдонимы, названия, доли, субпубликации и лицензионные соглашения. Эта информация позволяет ОКУПам собирать гонорары и распределять их правообладателям.
WIPO Connect представляет собой эффективное, хорошо подходящее и настраиваемое решение, призванное облегчить повседневную деятельность ОКУПов и их сотрудничество с ОКУПами из других стран.
В августе 2023 г. с соответствии со статьей 76 Соглашения о расширенном партнерстве и сотрудничестве между Республикой Казахстан и Европейским Союзом («усовершенствовать управление ОКУП путем внедрения мер «для достижения более высокого уровня рационализации и прозрачности в отношении выполнения задач своих ОКУП») РОО «КазАК» приобрел специализированную программу WIPO Connect от WIPO — Всемирной организации интеллектуальной собственности.
WIPO Connect это программа, которая будет полезна казахстанским правообладателям и пользователям. Она позволит укрепить отношения между Республикой Казахстан и Европейским Союзом, добавив прозрачность и технологические достижения в работу РОО «КазАК», как ОКУПа международного уровня.
