Last published date:

Slovenia has adopted all EU eCommerce directives pertaining to intellectual property right (IPR) protections.  Enforcement of such directives, however, is relatively lax and illegal downloading of music and video content is common.  The Slovenian Intellectual Propety Office oversees eCommerce intellectual property protections. 

In any foreign market, companies should consider several general principles for effective protection of their intellectual property. For background, please link to our article on Protecting Intellectual Property and Stopfakes.gov for more resources.
