Date: 10 April 2019 Event: Piracy and IPTV: Insights from the EUIPO Commissioned Project on IPTV and Copyright Location: EU Intellectual Property Office, Alicante Spain
This paper will explore the application of blockchain technology within the legal framework designed for traditional collecting societies. In doing so, the paper will examine the potential for this new technology to strip aside the “middleman” and permit direct transactions between parties. Such elements have much significance for copyright law, particularly from the point of view of enforcement in the dissemination of creative works.
The Forum will bring together policy makers, industry leaders, small to medium-sized enterprises, as well as universities, research and technology centers and other key stakeholders to network and debate on the economic, social and technical challenges that should be still solved to drive AM deployment forward and the role that European policies are playing.
The European Commission commissioned a project exploring the Intellectual Property (IP) implications of the Development of 3D Printing signalling its commitment to this area. This project which commenced in May 2018 is led by Professor Dinusha Mendis, Co-Director of CIPPM.
The workshop will concentrate on the merits and shortcomings of current IP regimes in light of the overarching societal goal of sustainability. We understand sustainability, or sustainable development, as ‘development that meets the needs of the present while safeguarding Earth’s life-support system, on which the welfare of current and future generations depends’.
