The Future of Intellectual Property for Global Britain

13 January 2021

17:00 - 18:30 GMT

Global Britain signals a re-framing of Britain’s relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. This will be shaped by Britain’s trade agreements and its national legislative framework. There are many facets of Intellectual Property that will impacted by the end of the transition period.

This session will discuss the Minister’s vision for the future of Intellectual Property and we will have responses from the legal, commercial, economic and academic perspective. As the British Copyright Council focusses on copyright, other topics likely to be discussed include enforcement, AI and trade which will be relevant to those with an interest in wider Intellectual Property matters.
