Riikka Tähtivuori, IPR-asiantuntija

Elinkeinoelämän keskusliitto EK ry

Riikka Tähtivuori on työskennellyt immateriaalioikeuksien parissa edunvalvontatehtävissä 2000 luvun alkupuolelta lähtien, ensin lainopillisena asiamiehenä Suomen Yrittäjät ry:ssä, sitten vuodesta 2006 alkaen Tietoliikenteen ja tietotekniikan keskusliitto FiCom ry:ssä lakiasioiden päällikkönä ja  helmikuusta 2009 eteenpäin immateriaalioikeusasioihin erikoistuneena asiatuntija Elinkeinoelämän keskusliitto EK:ssa. Elinkeinoelämän edunvalvojana Tähtivuori vaikuttaa siihen, että teollis- ja tekijänoikeussääntely tukee suomalaisten yritysten toimintaedellytyksiä muuttuvassa (mm. digitalisoituvassa ja globaalissa) ympäristössä niin kotimaassa ja EU-markkinoilla, mikä  käytännössä tarkoittaa osallistumista ajankohtaisten kotimaisten ja EU:n  IPR - lainsäädäntöhankkeiden valmisteluun. Regulaatiovaikuttamisen ohella IPR-asiantuntija osallistuu aineettomia oikeuksia koskevaan yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun ja pyrkii lisäämään yritysten tietoisuutta aineettomien oikeuksien sisällöstä ja merkityksestä yrityksen liiketoiminnalle mm. koulutuksen, jäsenviestinnän ja -neuvonnan muodossa.
