Summary of WIPO Conversation on IP and AI Sessions
On 8 January 2021, World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) published a Summary of Second and Third Sessions of its Conversation Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has an ever growing effect on all aspects of our lives, and intellectual property is no exception. The issue of AI’s significance for IP has been increasingly discussed at WIPO as well, with WIPO already organising three Sessions of Conversation on IP and AI over the past two years. Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič attended all three of the Sessions on behalf of Communia:
- the first Session took place in September 2019,
- the second Session was organised in July 2020,
- the third Session took place in November 2020.
Last week, on 8 January 2021, WIPO finally published the Summary of the second and third Sessions of the Conversation, which mainly revolved around the discussion on the Revised Issues Paper on IP and AI.
The Summary document in whole is available here.
The Grand Board of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) finally ruled that the figurative sign ‘COVIDIOT’ cannot be registered as an EU trademark.
The 4th Open Knowledge Day took place on Tuesday 17 October 2023, with an accompanying workshop on 18 October 2023. This year it was organised by the Open Data and Intellectual Property Institute (ODIPI) and supported by Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21).
We invite you to the fourth Open Knowledge Day and the workshop, which will take place this year within the framework of the programme and with the support of Knowledge Rights 21. The event will bring together experts from different European countries to discuss two topics: the first part will deal with the legal basis for data analytics, which is a key part of machine learning and related artificial intelligence, and the general exception for research. In the second part, open science in theory and practice will be presented both in Slovenia and in some Western Balkan countries. Representatives of research and educational institutions from Slovenia and the Western Balkan countries, as well as interested members of the public, are invited to attend.
