Intellectual Property Rights

http://www.bsa.org/finland/  BSA Finland, PL 290, 00121 Helsinki, Hotline: (09) 644 141, infofinland@bsa.org 
http://www.prh.fi/ Mr. Martti Enajarvi, Director General, National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland, Arkadiankatu 6 A, FIN-00100 Helsinki, Finland, Tel: (358-9) 6939 500, Fax: (358-9) 6939 5328, E-mail: martti.enajarvi@prh.fi 

The Finnish legal system protects property rights, including intellectual property, and Finland adheres to numerous international agreements concerning intellectual property.  Finland has joined the most important copyright agreements.  Patent rights are consistent with international standards.  In Finland a granted patent applies for 20 years.  In 1996, Finland joined the European Patent Convention (EPC) and the European Patent Organization (EPO).  Finland is clearly the leader when the number of so-called high-tech patent applications (8 applications/ 1 million Finns) is compared in proportion to the population of different countries.  Finland is a member of WIPO, and participates primarily through its membership in the EU.  The idea of protection of intellectual property is well developed.
 
Information on copying and copyright infringement is provided by several copyright holder interest organizations such as the Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Center.  The Business Software Alliance (BSA), a worldwide software anti-piracy organization, began operations in Finland in January 1994.  According to a recent survey, the rate of software piracy in Finland was 25 percent in 2002.  According to BSA, retail software revenue lost to piracy amounted to EUR 19 million in 2002.  However, the number of pirated CD's, video's etc brought mainly from Estonia and Russia into Finland is estimated at 3.5 million a year to a value of EUR 33 million.  The total annual value of Finland's recording market is EUR 126 million. In addition, the "Commercial Music Piracy 2003" report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) claims that more than 20 percent of recordings sold in Finland are counterfeit.  That is by far the highest rate in the Nordic region.  It is more than double the level in the other Nordic countries.  The industry organization says this is of because of Finland's proximity to Russia.
 
Finland has been a member of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property since 1921, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic works since 1928 and the Rome International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations since 1983.
 
The Finnish Copyright Act, which traditionally also grants protection to authors, performing artists, record producers, broadcasting organizations and catalog producers, has been adjusted to comply with EU directives.  As part of this harmonization, the period of copyright protection was extended from 50 years to 70 years.  Protection for database producers (currently a part of catalog producer rights) has been defined consistent with EU practice.  National transition period procedures are defined in Parliament.  The Finnish Copyright Act provides for sanctions ranging from fines to imprisonment for up to two years.  Search and seizure are authorized in the case of criminal piracy, as is the forfeiture of financial gains.  The Copyright Act has covered computer software since 1991.
