WIPO Master Dialogue on Intellectual Property Adjudication – Judicial Perspectives on IP

Following the success of the inaugural WIPO Master Class on IP Adjudication in Beijing, China in 2018, the second edition of this series will be hosted at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., United States of America, from September 16 to 19, 2019.

Each year, the Master Dialogue brings together some 30 experienced IP judges from around the world to discuss IP adjudication experiences across their jurisdictions in an interactive small-group setting. This year, participating judges from Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Finland, France, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Poland, Republic of Korea, Romania, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom and the Court of Justice of the Andean Community will be joined by leading IP judges from the United States of America for a two and a half-day program covering topical questions in patent and copyright law. The discussions will be led by a panel of distinguished Dialogue Leaders from Australia, China, Germany and the United States of America.
