In this paper, we discuss current issues and future trends on intellectual properties of digital libraries by interpreting legal concepts in engineering manner as a reference to Asia-Pacific DL researchers and practitioners. First, we discuss problems on copyright entities in digital libraries and patent objects in their retrieval mechanisms. Second, we formulate the conditions of copyrightability on the multimedia databases as digital libraries and the patentability on the parameter setting components in retrieval mechanisms. Third, we discuss a new direction for protecting numerical parametric information as trade secret embedded in the patentable parameter setting components.
