Objective:
The Internet and technological advancement continuously shape and impact the development of intellectual property law with new forms of creation (such as NFTs and works created by artificial intelligence), new ways of conducting business, new means of communication, new types of currencies etc.
This course will first explore various interesting issues and questions posed by such advancement to this ever-changing area of law, and how the law reacts to these challenges.
The course will then cover topics relating to IP arbitration, including arbitrability, disclosure, the WIPO Arbitration Rules etc. With the growth of intellectual property creation and commercialisation, there is also an increasing demand for resolution of intellectual property disputes by way of arbitration.
