Content for the home of World IP Review and Life Sciences IP Review

This year’s World Intellectual Property Day focuses on the IP sector’s role in building a common future with innovation and creativity. Almost a year ago we celebrated the contributions of women in IP, and encouraged the broader innovation community to prioritise the issues related to female-led innovation.

For 2024 and beyond, how can we now leverage the can-do spirit of women to accelerate the WIPO theme of establishing a common future through Sustainable Development Goals?

In rethinking how we live, work and play, our panel of leading female IP practitioners will lead a spirited debate on the practical steps that we can all take to build our common future with innovation and creativity. 

You’ll have a chance to hear from:

• Robin Weatherhead, VP Intellectual Property & Legal, Ventus Therapeutics
• Melissa Brand, Senior Director, Corporate Counsel & IP, Radius Health
• Marcia Chang, VP, IP Operations, Tradespace
• Kenya Williams, IP Counsel, Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Nicole Mastrangelo, IP Counsel, The Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard

With live audience Q&A and a stellar line-up of speakers, this is an unmissable and timely live debate, and we urge you to join us.

This past year was incredibly eventful for the domain name industry.

And of course, ICANN made strides towards the next round of new gTLDs with the release of their ODA (Operational Design Assessment).

With so much to follow, please join Matt Serlin and Elisa Cooper on January 25 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT as they review and provide their perspectives on the top 10 biggest domain news stories from 2022, including:

- ICANN updates including proposed models for disclosing non-public ownership data, changes to transfer policy, and timing for the next round of new gTLDs
- Concerns over Web3 identities
- Changing domain market dynamics 
- Much, much more

And of course, they’ll be hauling out the old crystal ball to make their predictions for 2023 during this 60-minute webinar which will conclude with an interactive Q&A.

Applying Technology To Be a Strategic Advisor to Clients and Colleagues

As law firms move towards a client value-focused model, cutting-edge technology is vital to becoming a trusted advisory by offering best-in-class, cost-effective service. Perhaps no technology is more promising than artificial intelligence (AI), which promises not only to automate legal processes, but also to empower practitioners with invaluable legal and business intelligence. 

Join PatSnap for this topical panel on how attorneys are using AI, machine learning and other powerful technologies to upgrade their client relationships.

Expanding the OC Role With AI Tools

Selling through distributors is a proven and tested method to grow an online business’ revenue. However, this strategy comes with challenges as well as opportunities.

Without the ability to track and identify unauthorised resellers, brands are at risk of being targeted by grey market websites, leading to complaints from distributors, minimum advertised price violations, reputation erosion, and ultimately loss of revenue.

This is a situation that many brands face, including New U Life. As a leader in the supplement market, New U Life became a target for grey market vendors in South Asian marketplaces. In response to the brand’s rapid growth, combating unauthorised sellers quickly became a top priority.

In our webinar Red Points and New U Life will discuss winning strategies that brands can apply to identify and stop unauthorised online sellers and resellers at scale.

What you will learn:

• Top strategies to prevent grey market violations
• Impact of grey market on a brand’s revenue and reputation
• How brands can keep track of their products on sites such as e-commerce marketplaces, distributor websites, and grey market websites by leveraging technology

Grey Market Sales Online: Winning Strategies to Combat Them

China has become a critical jurisdiction for patents in recent years, but many international companies are surprised by the different requirements for patent applications in China from the US and elsewhere. 

This webinar will compare the two systems, focussing particularly on inventiveness, where the differences are significant and can trip up international companies. Chinese law requires new inventions to possess prominent substantive features and indicate notable progress over the prior art, but the steps used to get to those thresholds have distinct differences from US analyses of obviousness. 

Join us to learn more about these distinctions, and how you can ensure your patent applications can be successful in both the US and China.

The Differences Between Patent Applications in China and the US

Over the last year, questions and interest in blockchain domains (sometimes called decentralised domains, NFT domains, or web3 usernames) have grown considerably. 

What are blockchain domains, how do they work, and how are they being used today? 

Join Tyler Mason, senior director of strategy and advisory at GoDaddy Corporate Domains, on Wednesday, April 27 at 10am PT/1pm ET  as he reviews this technology. Specifically he’ll be covering:

• The different types of blockchain domain names
• Basics of how they work and how they differ from the traditional domain name space
• Questions related to trademark abuse and possible future name collisions

An Overview of Blockchain Domain Names

Join us on March 10, 2022 at 5pm GMT/ 6pm CET as we discuss proactive brand strategies general counsel should employ to avoid the 'whack a mole' effect. 

By not taking any action against scammers, brands can suffer serious reputational damage. In the case of Purple, customers unknowingly purchased counterfeit items of its products via social media, e-commerce marketplaces, and fake websites, and when those products didn’t meet expectations, Purple was left picking up the pieces. 

After witnessing a spike of infringing online listings, it became apparent to Purple’s general counsel that the traditional approach to detection and removal wouldn’t cut it. The sheer number of counterfeiters required a holistic approach that would deter counterfeiters from stealing their trademarks and copyright, while also preventing the ‘whack-a-mole’ effect. 

In this webinar with Purple and Red Points you’ll learn: 
- How Purple’s legal team is tackling global bad actors on a large scale with its five game-changing brand protection strategies  
- How Purple is leveraging trademark, copyright, trade dress, and many more IP protections to deter counterfeiters from going after their brand 
- How Purple is leveraging brand protection data from Red Points’ platform as a business intelligence tool to identify trends and opportunities for the whole organisation

Brand Protection Strategies to Employ to Avoid the ‘Whack a Mole’ Effect

Join our IP Protection Panel as they dive into;

- Revealing key challenges in the tech industry for safeguarding your innovation and brand
- Defining where your creation’s values actually lie
- What are the common principles all tech startups should be aware of when creating an effective strategy?
- Delving into the fundamentals of trade secrets as part of an IP protection strategy
- Incorporating a concise and adaptable strategy that is parallel with your business plan and commercial goals

Protecting your Business to Promote Growth and Capitalise on Return

Traditionally, many brands have focussed their online efforts on policing counterfeit products. But another threat has emerged in recent years which can be even more damaging to brands and consumers alike. 

When customers are faced with websites that look exactly like legitimate brand sites but are in fact fraudulent, it may cost them far more than the disappointment of receiving an inferior item. Indeed, consumers might find themselves falling victim to more substantial frauds as a result of engaging with and supplying details to wholly phoney websites, potentially without even knowing they've been duped.  

These fraud network websites are also present on social media, impersonating legitimate accounts and even advertising on the platforms. For brands, tackling this fraud is no easy task. Sophisticated bad actors create multiple illegitimate websites, meaning that even if you are able to close one down, another is still there to take its place, while in the meantime the bad conduct continues.  

Join this webinar at 5:30pm GMT/ 12:30pm ET on January 20, to hear brand experts from Patagonia and TTI talk about the ways in which they secure their online presence, and from BrandShield about how any business can ensure they are best-placed to fend off threats in the online world.

From Fakes to Fraud: Why Traditional Anti-Counterfeiting Efforts Aren't Enough

This session is focused on trademark and brand protection as it relates to strategic use of trademarks and design patents. The speakers will discuss considerations for developing an effective IP enforcement strategy, including the use of trademarks, design patents, trade dress, copyrights, Customs enforcement, and utility patents to protect brand reputation and value. 

The discussion will also cover leveraging IP assets, assessing budget implications, and evaluating venue options for asserting IP rights.
