CAN IP BE PROTECTED IN THE INTERNET AGE?

Pavilion 4, Conference Hall 4.1 Arena

The growth in the range of frequencies, the development of social networking sites, the emergence of cloud computing technologies and the appearance of powerful mobile electronic devices are just a few of the new trends leading to a revolution in digital media. However, the transition to a global information society has created new problems for the owners of intellectual property throughout the world.

1) How might the continued development of the digital age enable new strategies and models in the protection of intellectual property? Taking into account the speed of technological development, what changes to legislation are necessary in order to better protect IP?
2) How might the advent of cloud computing and the next generation of electronic devices impact intellectual property rights? What influence are consumers having on these trends?
3) Should international coordination for protecting intellectual property be strengthened? How can this best be done?
