| Tartalmi kivonat: | Nowadays with the increase in production and consumption processes, the threat of an environmental crisis is becoming more serious, and the understanding that a transition to sustainable practices is necessary. When looked from the perspective of copyright law, the question of how to find solutions to this need to change and how the use of copyright protected works can be aligned with sustainability goals, remains a controversial issue. In this context, to progress in direct proportion to sustainability goals, the practice known as upcycling, which is the process of innovatively and creatively reorganizing and processing unused or outdated products to transform them into new products and which is often discussed as having the potential to reduce waste, stands out. It also increases consumers' awareness of environmental issues because it allows them to reuse and repurpose materials in their lives. However, upcycling practices, like every other practice that enhances the protection of the environment, lead to a conflict with traditional forms of intellectual property rights because often upcycling will involve the reuse or transformation of copyright protected patterns or works on the final upcycled products. While upcycling practices may also raise trademark related concerns, this study deliberately limits its analysis to copyright implications of upcycling. Therefore, although relevant to certain cases mentioned later in this study, trademark related issues are outside the scope of this study. As a result, this study will explore the growing conflict between upcycling practices, which are increasingly recognized as a part of the sustainability mission, and the principles of copyright law. |
