IP Implications of the Data Economy

Global Digital Encounters 30

Objectives

The IP Implications of Data Economy are multiple and evolving fast. How is the current IP system able, or flexible enough, to face evolutions required for the Data Economy, and for related new forms of trade and exchange between countries? Can evolutions of the current IP system be fast enough to meet these challenges? How can policymakers and lawmakers in different countries work at the same pace and better harmonize their work?  What kind of consensus may exist in various parts of the world and in international fora for such changes?  For this Session of our Global Digital Encounters, Speakers from Europe, Asia and North America with a variety of opinions will provide a worldwide picture of the future of IIP Implications of Data Economy, and for re-imagining IP in this area in favor of both business and consumers/society.
