Earlier this week I mentioned Juris Conferences LLC's Eleventh Annual Investment Treaty Arbitration Conference – Technology, IP and Investor-State Arbitration at the Washington Plaza Hotel in Washington DC on 25 April 2017. I suggested that it was particularly timely in view of the final award in Eli Lilly & Co. v Canada 16 March 2017 which I discussed in the Falling to BITs: the Eli Lilly and Philip Morris Cases 8 April 2017 NIPC Law. I canvassed support for a similar conference on that topic in England and received one positive reply through Linkedin.

The next day I received an invitation from the organizers of the Cambridge IP Law Summer School to speak on the subject at this year's summer school at Downing College, Cambridge between 14 and 18 Aug 2017. This should be a splendid occasion.  The agenda looks fascinating. Some of the country's leading practitioners in IP law have agreed to speak at the event.

This summer school is billed as:

"A unique and robust exploration of intellectual property, from fundamentals to advanced IP enforcement strategy"

and offers the opportunity to

"learn in several different formats during the day… and then reinforce that learning & make new connections with unique networking events in the evening."

There are early bird savings of up to £500 for those who book before 23 June 2017. You can reserve your place here.

Learning the Law at St Andrews - Mooting

IP and Brexit: the Fashion Industry

Image
Jane Lambert Our IP system, which is ranked by TaylorWessing as one of the best in the world (see The Global Intellectual Property Index ) consists of some rights that subsist under national law and others that subsist under EU law. When we eventually leave the EU, those rights that subsist under EU law such as the EU trade mark and the Community design will fall away. I discussed those consequences generally in What Sort of IP Framework do we need after Brexit and what are we likely to get?   3 July 2016. In this article I consider how those changes will affect the British fashion industry which relies on EU trade marks and Community designs more than most. I have chosen this industry because I have conducted seminars on IP and fashion in London and Leeds (see  IP and Fashion Law   12 Sept 2015 London IP and Tech,  IP and Fashion Seminar - 7 Oct 2015   20 Sept 2015 and  Second Course on IP and the Fashion Industry   27 May 2016), Importance of the British Fashion In

Perhaps the Most Complex World IP Day Theme Ever

Image
  jane Lambert World Intellectual Property Day is a worldwide celebration of the legal protection of innovation and creativity that takes place on or around the 26 April of every year.  That day has been chosen because it is the anniversary of the day on which the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization  came into force.  The World Intellectual Property Organization ("WIPO")  is the United Nations specialist agency for intellectual property. Every year World IP Day revolves around a special theme.  In 2021 it was  IP & SMEs: Taking your ideas to market .  In 2022 it was IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future .  Last year it was Women and IP: accelerating innovation and creativity .  This year it is  IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity  which is certainly the most complex and arguably the most ambitious theme ever, "SDGs" stand for "Sustainable Development Goals"  which were adopt
