AI technology to make tourists stay longer in Värmland
In the project PERUPP, AI will be fed with offers from actors in the tourism industry to enhance the Värmland experience.
– We want to take advantage of AI technology, says Siri Jagstedt, project leader of one of the work packages.The modern person wants to have more personal and tailored experiences rather than one-size-fits-all. This applies especially to the tourism industry, with the shift from “all inclusive” to “yours exclusive” where the overall experience is dependent on both the selection of services offered at the destination, as well as the specific interests and needs of the guest.

95-Year-Old Mouse in Legal Mouse Trap
On 1 January 2024, it had been 95 years since Mickey Mouse first showed up in the short film “Steamboat Willy”. Now, the early versions of the famous mouse are free to use by anyone. Or are they? David Johansson, Senior Lecturer in Civil Law at Karlstad Business School, talks us through what copyright is and why it is important for a legal practitioner to understand the legislation surrounding intellectual property rights.
Lately, several articles have made it seem as if Mickey Mouse is now public domain and therefore free to use by anyone. This is just partly true. What’s happened is that the copyright protection for the three Mickey Mouse short films produced in 1928 has expired. The three films are “Plane Crazy”, “The Gallopin’ Gaucho” and the more famous “Steamboat Willie”.
