We are facing what some have described as a period of the most radical exponential change in human history. The overlapping emergence of new technologies, including the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, point towards a disturbing scenario in which many of our well established certainties are broken into millions of pieces. Intellectual property is not immune to these challenges. As a tool to encourage innovation and competition in the marketplace, any intellectual property system should be aligned with the development of big-data, AI, and other hybridization technologies. But an intellectual property system also must contribute to sustainable development goals.
The course will examine in a holistic manner the impact emerging technologies and new hybrid technologies may have on intellectual property systems
