IP for the Next Generation of Technology – Arlington, VA

George Mason CPIP

The Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property‘s Sixth Annual Fall Conference IP for the Next Generation of Technology, will be held October 11-12, 2018 at Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University.

After the breakthrough technology that gave us the mobile technology revolution of the past fifteen years, another leap forward in technology is about to break out into consumer products and services.

This conference will address how IP rights and institutions can foster and support this technological advance, whether it is in the development of the Internet of Things (IOT), the use of Big Data, the deployment of 3D printing, continued advances in streaming media, or in the myriad new business models that will arise from these technological and commercial innovations.

All of this will be fostered by and will benefit from stable and effective property rights in innovative technologies and creative arts. Contrary to the tread-worn claims that new technological developments make IP rights unnecessary, this conference will consider how IP helps creators, inventors, the creative industries, and the innovation industries move forward.
