IPKats love a tweet
The lecture will be delivered (in Melbourne Sydney and Brisbane) by Jeremy Phillips. Jeremy (or more exactly a fictional and "notorious" cat: the IPKat) has three times, been named as one of IP's "Fifty Most Influential People ". The IPKat is widely read, wide ranging and fun.
The lectures Big Picture theme could be of interest to many:
In the face of accelerating changes in the make-up of the world’s economic, cultural and political structure, IP rights face a stress-test. Pulled back into the past by legislative intent and judicial precedent, they are propelled forwards by new technologies, increasingly specialised laws and creative business structures. And they are subject to the constants of the need for justice, the requirement of legal predictability and the demand of due process. Is there a Big Picture: a vision that can be shared by legislators, IP owners and their lawyers and attorneys? If so, what does it look like?
The lecture will be streamed , Mon 17/11/2014 at 6:15 PM - 7:45 PM. Attendance is free, but booking is required : Melbourne (12 November), Sydney (17 November) and Brisbane (18 November)
For those of us who don't live on the east coast will these lectures be streamed or recorded somewhere?
I am told that it will be recorded and streamed tomorrow night, I will put details up when I get them
Thanks for the notice David.
I'm not read up on IPKat, but I have to say that his summary of issues is a bit odd - very legal-centric .
Hmm, will I'll credit the first and the second and third are second order - and about implementation rather than what to implement. But there's something awfully absent here. IP is economic policy. We need IP to deliver as good economic outcomes as possible.
Might be worth putting that up there as a first order objective - along with justice.
Provably should wait to hear what he has to say. However isn't predictability and due process I.e Trust, important to real economies?
Yes
Tyler Hi The lecture will be streamed live on Monday 17 November 6.45 PM . I do not know when a more permanent recording will be available.
