The European Commission and the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (IP office) met on 19 October 2023 for the annual IP Dialogue under the Association Agreement between the European Commission and Ukraine. 

In written comments submitted for the meeting, EIFL welcomed the introduction of new exceptions for text and data mining, cultural heritage institutions and use of orphan works in the 2022 Ukrainian copyright act. However, EIFL identifies shortcomings compared with EU law in three key areas - contract override, text and data mining, and out-of-commerce works. We also highlight some translation issues with the exception for libraries, archives and museums.
