Objectives:
Fide and TIPSA (Transatlantic Intellectual Property Academy) present the 20th Global Digital Encounter in which we’ll gather with IP experts from Argentina, Serbia and Italy/France to discuss the relevant topic that’s Standard Essential Patents.

During, and further to the COVID Crisis, the role of Standard Essential Patents became even more central. Its massive use in key economic sectors brings important legal consequences, for IP in general, and for the circulation of IP Rights. What benefits and challenges do the recent EU initiatives bring, considering, in particular, the “New Framework for SEPs”, the new “Draft Guidelines on Horizontal Cooperation Agreements” and the EU⿿s New Industrial Strategy”? Which issues arise with Licensing of SEPs in the Internet of Things? What are Government strategies related to SEPs and injunctions? What may be the impact of the cellular standardization system on innovation? Speakers from Europe and South America will provide a worldwide picture of the future of Standard Essential Patents, including re-imagining IP in this area in favor of both business and consumers/society.

The encounter will take place next wednesday, May 11th, in the usual GDE format, vía Microsoft Teams Webinars.
