Copyright Infrastructure Task Force
The aim is to create and maintain an “Open Rights Data Framework” (ORDF), based on EU legislation and semantic copyright information. The deployment of generative artificial intelligence has increased the need for work of this kind.
The work of the Copyright Infrastructure Task Force (CITF), which cooperates with the EU institutions, emphasises:
- practices based on use cases in the cultural and creative industries,
- analysis of use cases,
- drafts of requirements, and
- definition of the copyright infrastructure
The EUIPO Copyright Knowledge Centre was launched in November 2025. Global developments at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) was launchedat the Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Interchange (AIII) in March 2026. Relevant CITF related work of WIPO can be found at WIPO Technical Expert Network TEN and WIPO Creator Awareness platform CLIP.
