Fide and TIPSA join forces to organize a serial of digital encounters to try and find out if Intellectual Property is equipped to face the ongoing changes that our world is experiencing.
Monthly meetings with IP experts from all over the world, in which we discuss the key challenges that IP faces today.
Find all the reports from past encounters both individually as well as in yearly collections.
The Global Digital Encounters have formed an Academic Faculty and Family of Speakers and Moderators, composed of worldwide known Academics and IP Senior Specialists from all continents. This Faculty and Family is constantly growing.
The aim of the first Encounter was to provide a broad picture of the changing landscape of the IP system in a post-crisis environment
