The First International Mobile IPR Workshop: Rights Management of Information Products on the Mobile Internet was held in Helsinki on August 27-28, 2003.

The workshop was organised by HIIT with support of TEKES through the Mobile IPR project. Proceedings of the event are available in the report series of HIIT.

The project is intended to form a central part of the next-generation Internet search research area at HIIT, already commenced with the support of the Academy of Finland in the PROSE project. SIB will study especially topic-specific search engines for intranets.
