Building on the highly acclaimed Intellectual Property Case Law Conferences (IPCLC) of 2016, 2018 and 2020, the Boards of Appeal of the EUIPO are organising, in cooperation with the EUIPO Academy, a hybrid fourth edition of the IPCLC. It will be held in Alicante on 7 and 8 July 2022.
Objectives:
Newly designed to take a sectorial approach to current global challenges facing the IP community, the conference includes an all-star conference faculty, with representatives from some of the leading IP offices, lawmakers, judges, academics and lawyers. Contextualized in a sectorial approach – including fields such as health, fashion, the environment, artificial intelligence, automobiles and the food industry –, expert panels will consider the challenges and developments in IP case-law and legislation that lie ahead.
The event is designed to encourage interactive discussions among participants through panel debates, with each of them covering 4 or 5 key topics related to each specific sector.
