   notifications. Both countries shared strategies on IP financing and transparent
   royalty systems, including management of public-domain works.

​DIP Director-General Auramon Supthaweethum stated that these discussions align 
with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Suphajee Suthumpun’s policy 
to leverage intellectual property to add value to Thai goods, services, and creative
industries, while also strengthening rights protection.

​The DIP met with South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea
Copyright Commission, the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, and the Korea Music
Copyright Association.

Discussions focused on balancing AI innovation with creators’ rights, including 
the use of copyrighted material for model training, fair use, and text and data 
mining. Thailand now requires disclosure of AI use in copyright notification forms,
while South Korea is reviewing suitable copyright guidelines for AI-related activities.

​Both parties also shared approaches to IP financing, such as using copyright as
collateral and enabling fractional investment in music royalties, to help expand
creators’ access to funding.

​Regarding rights management, discussions addressed transparent royalty collection
and distribution, including both blanket and usage-based licensing. The parties 
also exchanged methods for managing public-domain and orphan works on digital platforms.

cross-border online piracy through site blocking, AI and Big Data monitoring, digital
forensic investigations, and measures targeting illegal IPTV services.

support creators and businesses in the digital economy.
