Intellectual Property controversies and disputes become more and more cross border in the context of the IV Industrial Revolution and the enforcement of IP rights in this global environment raises new and complex challenges to the traditional models of solving conflicts through national courts. Issues like the rules for adjudication of international disputes (jurisdiction), the applicable law and the cross-border recognition and enforcement of judgments involving IP claims still differ widely from country to country, fostering therefore the development of an environment deprived of legal certainty which severely affects the enforcement of IP rights all over the world. Consequently, the adoption of model provisions on the private international law aspects of IP which could be used as guiding for national and international legislation has become an urgent matter.

The 15th Global Digital Encounter organized by Fide Foundation and TIPSA (Transatlantic Intellectual Property Academy) will discuss the main lines of the 13 December 2020 Kyoto Guidelines drafted by a group of 36 renowned scholars from 19 jurisdictions under the auspices of the International Law Association.

Panelists: Prof. Marketa Trimble, Samuel S. Lionel Professor of Intellectual Property Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (US);  Prof. Toshiyuki Kono, Professor of Law and Executive Vice-President at Kyushu University (Japan); Prof. Axel Metzger, Professor of Civil and Intellectual Property Law at Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany). Moderator: Pedro De Miguel Asensio, Professor of Private International Law at Complutense University of Madrid, Spain)
