Intellectual Property in the Digital Environment


The relationship between intellectual property and the digital environment remains fraught with difficulties. From the Judicial review of the Digital Economy Act 2010 to challenges posed by the increase in new media, the expanding digital environment continues to create many new challenges and opportunities for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property.

With developments in online copyright enforcement and the changing interface between private international law and intellectual property, it is essential that you keep up-to-date in this fast changing and increasingly regulated area.

Chaired by Peter Brownlow of Bird & Bird LLP, our eminent speaker panel will guide you through the latest legal, regulatory and commercial developments, enabling you to think strategically when responding to new challenges and opportunities in the digital age.
