«Protecting and Enforcing Digital Marks and Designs» – 37th Global Digital Encounter

FIDE (Legal and Business Research Foundation) and TIPSA (Transatlantic Intellectual Property Academy) join forces to organize a serial of digital encounters to be scheduled along the year 2024 around the topic «Re-imagining IP in an ever-chaning world».

On this 37th Global Digital Encounter, the topic will be: «Protecting and Enforcing Digital Marks and Designs»

Since the advent of the internet, there has been a continuous evolution in how individuals and businesses communicate, create, operate, and commercialize their products and services. As businesses and designers increasingly move online, the traditional concepts of protecting trademarks and designs face new challenges coming from, among others, emergence of new digital products and services, or new business models. These challenges arise from the need to adapt or apply legal frameworks to effectively safeguard both digital and physical assets. What complexities arise when applying these regulations to the digital realm? What are the recent legislative amendments aimed at adapting existing regulations to the digital age? Are there any solutions and strategies to overcome these difficulties, ensuring that trademarks and designs receive adequate protection?

In this session of our Global Digital Encounters, speakers from both the public and private sectors, offering a variety of perspectives, will provide a global overview of the current state of digital trademarks and designs and discuss possible future developments.
