How Blockchain and Smart Contracts are Disrupting IP

Imagine a world where intellectual property (IP) is managed and protected in a completely different way, where creators can easily and securely monetize their work, and where ownership and use of IP assets is transparent and immutable.
Smart contracts allow creators to automate licensing. They can set license terms and receive payment automatically when their IP is used, without the need for intermediaries. Furthermore, blockchain can be used to create decentralized IP systems in which assets are managed and licensed directly by the rights holders. This will change the IP landscape and give rights holders more control over use and distribution.

This CLE session is on Thu 18 May 1015 - 1115. We will look at emerging opportunities, pitfalls, and the skills needed to offer these new services. The speakers are Leann PINTO (IPwe - US), Chia-Ling KOH (Osborne Clarke - SG) and William FAUCHOUX (BlockchainyourIP). The moderator is Pete POLLARD (Fireball Patents - NL).
