As the IPKat gazes out the window at the first hints of spring peeking through the winter gloom, she couldn’t help but purr with excitement at the flurry of upcoming IP-related events and opportunities.
IP Events
Are your weekends empty without a discussion of AI and IP? Do not fear, the CIPIL Spring Conference “Is AI transforming IP?“ takes place on Saturday, 29 March 2025. Chaired by Sir Richard Arnold, the event promises to be a highly academic look at the topic of AI and IP.
Also on the topic of AI, LSE Law School is hosting a discussion on “Artificial intelligence, intellectual property and the creative industries” on Tuesday 4 March 2025. The distinguished panel, including Professor Tanya Aplin from King’s College London and Professor Martin Kretschmer from the University of Glasgow, will explore the challenges of AI technologies in creative industries and debate IP law issues related to generative AI models.
