Jurisdiction in IP Disputes - Key Issues

Introduction

The enforcement of intellectual property rights, and disputes relating to such rights, are significantly impacted by jurisdictional issues.

The jurisdictional regime relevant to enforcement, and to intellectual property disputes, has been impacted, in some cases significantly, by Brexit.

That regime continues to evolve, and it is important for businesses and organisations, in all sectors, who are interested in protecting their intellectual property, to understand how jurisdictional issues may be relevant to IP enforcement.

This webinar will explore key jurisdictional issues in intellectual property enforcement and disputes following Brexit and will summarise the current lie of the land.
