The major problem faced by creators of fonts in Armenia is an illegal distribution of products conditioned by a weak copyright protection in Armenia, Ruben Hakobyan, head of the Union of Armenian Font Creators told press conference on January 27. "Today, to combat the illegal distribution of new products is very difficult, since it is difficult to prove the involvement of the shops in this business," Ruben Hakobyan said.
In his opinion, there gaps in the legislation relating to copyright protection. "There are no bodies dealing specifically with these problems, " he said. ''We seek to initiate reforms in our legal system, which will guarantee the protection of our rights, " Ruben Hakobyan said.
According to Hakopyan, fonts currently used by consumers do not comply with Armenian standards and are outdated technologically. The copyrights for the modern Armenian fonts can be purchased by AMD 10-20 thousand, which is in line with international standards.
