Copyright law has been the IP field with the highest number of dispute settlement proceedings. Outside the WTO context, a number of subsequent copyright agreements have been concluded under the auspices of WIPO, and domestic legislation responded to internet-related challenges with the introduction of new rights such as communication to the public. Both technology related to the use of copyrighted works and the way copyrighted works are consumed have changed beyond recognition over the last 25 years and will keep changing.
