The Future of IP Dispute Resolution

This event is fully booked. Please join the waitlist or register for the Melbourne live-stream on 25 August.

5.30pm | Pre-event refreshments
6.00pm | Public lecture / live stream

The legal landscape is changing before our eyes. The advent of AI and digital assets, the internationalisation of dispute resolution, and the changing expectations of users, all pose challenges, and intellectual property has always raised issues of its own.

This lecture will examine the state of intellectual property litigation today in the wider context, consider where it needs to be in future, and look at how we need to adapt to meet the challenges.

The topics include the major legal problems in IP which will need to be addressed; the legal and practical impact of artificial intelligence; the importance of digital assets and tokenisation; and the emergence of alternative modes of resolving dispute resolution.

The livestream will commence at the following times:
NSW/VIC/TAS/ACT: 6:00pm
QLD: 6:00pm
SA: 5:30pm
NT: 5:30pm
WA: 4:00pm
NZ: 8:00pm
