ECTA is pleased to provide in a webinar format two learning sessions from the ECTA 2020 Annual Conference, which was postponed due to COVID-19. The following IP topics will now be covered online:

TUESDAY 9 JUNE 2020 (14:00-15:15 Brussels time)

POWERING UP. USING NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE IP ENVIRONMENT
During the webinar, our speakers will talk about artificial intelligence and its use by authorities – ethical aspects, quality aspects and more. They will also discuss the changes of products from service providers, e.g. is the full search still the parameter or have new technologies taken us to a place where other approaches are better?

THURSDAY 11 JUNE 2020 (14:00-15:15 Brussels time)

PARALLEL IMPORTS: HOW IMPORTANT IS A TRADE MARK? A LIMITLESS SEA? (PHARMA PERSPECTIVE)
Our experts will discuss very key questions in this session. Is patient security more important than IP rights? Shall all trade marks be treated equally or are there differences between the classes, e.g. class 5 marks? Last but not least, we will also talk about the Directive on falsified medicines and related developments.
