Digitised IP Content in the Metaverse: Fair Use or Infringement

Digitised IP Content in the Metaverse: Fair Use or Infringement

Digitised IP Content in the Metaverse: Fair Use or Infringement

The emergence of the metaverse has opened new horizons for the dissemination of IP content, whilst constituting a new platform for artistic expression in the digital age. Yet when it comes to appropriating copyright or trade mark content in a metaverse context, the balancing exercise between rightsholders' and artists' rights becomes complex. Importantly, digitising, minting and publicly sharing protected content in NFT format does not equal to immunisation from infringement.  Join us for this webinar with Dr. Ioanna Lapatoura, Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at the University of Leeds, as she explores these issues through two recent cases - Vegap v Mango and Hermès v Rothschild - that illustrate the complexity in invoking artistic expression for the application of copyright exceptions and trade mark defences in such context, through the lens of European IP law.

The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property

The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property

The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property

Join Prof. Jonathan Barnett on May 28 at 4PM CEST for a free webinar based on his book The Big Steal. In this book he uncovers the ideological and business interests behind the weakening of intellectual property protections in the U.S. content and tech ecosystems since the rise of digital platforms starting in the mid-2000s. Through historical, economic, and legal analysis, Prof. Barnett shows how these policy changes resulted in a skewed ecosystem that favors aggregators over the innovators that drive a robust knowledge economy. The U.S. experience has lessons for other countries in crafting IP policies that sustain innovation ecosystems over the long term.
