Conference addresses emerging research in intellectual property and digital innovation

Artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization and technology are having a profound impact on intellectual property right protections, but how can the framework of international law keep pace with innovations? That is one question that 120 academics, researchers and policy makers debated on 18-19 June in Geneva, Switzerland. The two-day event was part of the 5th IP Researchers Europe (IPRE) Conference organized by the Faculty of Law, University of Geneva, in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the WTO.
