GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Bocconi University is organizing in September 2016 the Tenth edition of the Transatlantic Intellectual Property Summer Academy, jointly with the University of Alicante and the Magister Lvcentinvs. The topic of this tenth edition will be “Intellectual Property, Hightech and International Trade”. Conscious of the constant evolution of technology and of its growing importance for all economic sectors, through the interdisciplinary approach which has always characterized the TIPSA, this year’s Summer Academy will focus on the law, economics, business and operational practicalities of international intellectual property and international trade law regulation and its effects on new technologies.
Leading experts from universities, research centers, think tanks, intergovernmental organizations, law firms and businesses coming from both sides of the Atlantic will lecture on the challenges of new technologies and the solutions devised by intellectual property and trade law at the international and comparative level.
The horizontal teaching and constant contacts with IP operators will also allow a thorough discussion of the management of intellectual property rights, thanks also to real-life case studies directed by renowned experts in international IP and trade.
