'The Future of Intellectual Property'
The fifth annual Intellectual Property Awareness Summit® (IPAS 2022) returned this year on April 5th to the SF-Bay Area at UC Berkeley. This year’s event took place both in-person and virtual for those unable to travel.
IPAS 2022 is a gathering of IP owners, creators, educators, lawyers, organizations and investors, all with a common goal – to explore ways to make the benefits of IP rights, and the issues surrounding them, more apparent to key audiences.
Topics addressed this year include:
-
Entrepreneurship and Diversity – Do strong IP rights help or hinder them?
-
The IP Understanding Disconnect – What is it? Why it matters. How to address it.
-
The Impact of Web3 and ‘Virtual’ Property on IP – AI, blockchain and NFTs
-
China and Global Threats – IP’s role in maintaining an innovation edge
