The current international tensions are unfortunately affecting the development of the IP system and IPR holders: they are marked by a slowdown of international harmonization of IP Law and Case Law, more frequent technology export restrictions that affect IP rights and even, in countries at war, by various forms of sometimes serious limitations to certain categories of foreign IPR holders in countries at war. Which issues at stake and which safeguards for IPR Holders and affected countries? How Intellectual Property, Technology, (Open) Innovation and testing of the Governing Knowledge Commons can develop under current international rivalries’
For this Session of our Global Digital Encounters, Speakers from Europe, Asia / North America with a variety of opinions will provide a worldwide picture of the present of IP in war time and international tensions and possible evolutions in the near future.
