Unique groups, such as academics, the open source community, amateurs, or indigenous communities (of traditional knowledge) have different visions, understandings and expectations from property and competition law pertaining to the protection of intangibles.
The purpose of the Sixth WIPO IP Advanced Research Forum was to exemplify and critically examine the complexities and difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of interests related to IP law and to explore different venues in which this fragmentation is being handled (in global norms and in national legislation). In this context, areas such as trade barriers, global policies affecting the internet and the entertainment industries, were also explored.
The WIPO Advanced IP Research Forum aims at increasing the dialog between students and experts working on practical applied aspects and applications of the use of intellectual property. The Forum targets researchers, academics, students, practitioners, and thinkers who look into models of economic, legal and management of IP rights. It therefore encourages and supports interested students with advanced degrees to submit works in progress in the respective field to be presented and commented during the Forum.
