IP enforcement and Cybersecurity

Global Digital Encounters 23

Objectives

Before, during, and further to the COVID Crisis, the complex interaction between IP and Cybersecurity issues steadily developed: which cybersecurity within IP? Which cybersecurity for IP? How to keep IP assets protected against cybersecurity breaches? Which relationship between cybersecurity and WIPO, and why it may matter for WIPO? Why cybersecurity is essential for innovative IP business? How IP relates to privacy and other related areas while considering cybersecurity issues? New models are being developed and are in urgent need of clarity on their interaction with classical IP. Speakers from Europe, Israel, and Australia will provide a worldwide picture of the future of IP and Cybersecurity, including on re-imagining IP in this area in favor of both fair business and consumers/society.
