European IPR Helpdesk Annual Event 2018:<br/>Digital Transformation - Intellectual Property (IP) and Blockchain Technologies
12 December 2018 - 12 December 2018
Belgium
The Annual event will take place in Brussels at the EU Liaison Office of the German Research Organisations (KoWi), Rue du Trône 98, on 12 December 2018 from 3 pm to 6.15 pm.
Aiming to raise awareness and foster exchange on the role of Blockchain technology in the future of IP, key talks will give you the opportunity to look at this hot topic from various perspectives. The UK-based law experts Ruth Burstall and Birgit Clark will explain the potential impact of Blockchain technology on the IP-intensive industries. The European Patent Office will share the lessons learned from their Blockchain conference which takes place just a few days before our Annual Event. SIM Powerchain from the Netherlands will present its experiences in combining technology with content for smart contracts, and act as validators of the information uploaded to the Powerchain – with a particular focus on FMCG (fast moving consumer goods). Finally, the Austrian SME Vaultitude will demonstrate best practice in how to use Blockchain’s notary-like characteristics to make IP protection safer, faster, cheaper and more convenient. The event will be an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas and information related to an emerging field of future IP protection.
With the current European IPR Helpdesk project coming to an end in December, the programme will be rounded off by a presentation of the team’s key achievements over the past four years and a look ahead, aiming to encourage further exchange and discussion during a get-together following the event.
