When?
12 December 2018, 3:00-6:00 p.m.
Where?
The Annual Event with its lectures will raise awareness and launch an open exchange of views regarding the role of Blockchain technology concerning the future of IP.
Key talks will give us the opportunity to look at this hot topic from various perspectives. The UK-based law experts Ruth Burstall and Birgitt Clark will explain the potential impact of Blockchain technology on the IP-intensive industries first. The European Patent Office will share the lessons learned from their Blockchain conference which takes place just a few days before our Annual Event. SIM Powerchain from the Netherlands will present its experiences in combining technology with content for smart contracts, and act as validators of the information uploaded to the Powerchain – with a particular focus on FMCG (fast moving consumer goods). And, last but not least, we are very glad that the Austrian SME Vaultitude will demonstrate best practice in how to use blockchain’s notary-like characteristics to make IP protection safer, faster, cheaper and more convenient.
