By, Msc Hejli Haxhija

Abstract

Nowadays, the contemporary concept of intellectual property rights is a challenging problem, because it includes many ideas like innovation, invention, copyright, trademark and creativity and/or others of this kind. The legislation of intellectual property right is one of the most challenging ones not only in Albania but also in the most developed countries. A successful entrepreneur (Craig Venter) thinks that it is the key for the economic development and prosperity. The intellectual property plays a crucial role while being applied in the business, biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Its legislation is very recent and needs to be updated or modified so that countries should be able to anticipate any gaps of the legal framework that may be generated in future due to innovation and invention. Soon, Albania is going to join the European Union, so additional to the efforts to ratify the domestic legislation with the Acquis Communautaire, the government is facing with another huge challenge. According to international reports “Mapping the Real Routes of Trade in Fake Goods”, the country has become a main path for the international transit regarding counterfeit goods. The vigilance of domestic intuitions is underperforming that are incapable to stop this phenomenon.
