The US Presidential Elections & Its Potential Impact on Intellectual Property
Join us on the 21st of November 2024 | 14.00pm BST
THE USA HAS A NEW PRESIDENT ELECT:
The United States of America has gone to votes and has a new President elect. What will this mean for the US intellectual property system? What will it mean for the global Intellectual Property Community?
We asked international experts in intellectual property what their expectations are for the role IP will play under President elect Mr Donald Trump.
Join us for a debate on the role of IP under a new US presidency. What will be the potential course of directions domestically? Will the availability of injunctions be reviewed? What will happen to the patentability of Software and how what role will, could or may IP play in the dispute between China and the USA? Other topics of interest will be the evolving role of the International Trade Commission and the take of the US on other international evolutions such as the EU’s envisaged regulation on standard essential patents.
