Third Tricontinental Workshop on Intellectual Property Law: call for papers

The Influence of Emerging Technologies on Intellectual Property Law
 
It is with great anticipation that we extend this call for papers for the 3rd Tricontinental Conference on Intellectual Property (IP) Law, scheduled to convene on December 12 at the University of Malta. This year, we shall embark on an expedition into the labyrinthine intersections of emerging technologies and the ever-evolving contours of IP law. We invite submissions from academics, researchers, and practitioners from all corners of the globe, to partake in this scholarly congregation that promises to challenge and expand the intellectual horizons of our field.
 
Conference Focus
 
In the spirit of scholarly inquiry and intellectual rigour, this year’s conference will foreground the implications of emerging technological paradigms on IP rights, with a particular emphasis on blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies, far from mere tools, are harbingers of paradigmatic shifts that compel a re-examination of the very foundations upon which the edifice of IP law is constructed.
 
Blockchain Technology and IP Law
 
Blockchain has metamorphosed our conceptualisation of digital assets. It heralds a new epoch in which IP rights, once bound by the limitations of traditional frameworks, can be dynamically recorded and enforced with transparency and immutability. This technological vanguard redefines the creation of secondary markets, cultural heritage, and digital spaces wherein IP-protected assets can be traded or accessed with a newfound fluidity. The ramifications for registered rights are also particularly profound, as blockchain promises to elevate registration and eradicate the spectres of counterfeiting and infringement through its incorruptible chains of custody.
 
Artificial Intelligence and IP Law
 
The advent of AI, with its capacity for generating works with amazing speed and in large volumes, strikes at the very heart of conventional doctrines of creativity and authorship. It challenges us to rethink the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of IP law. In addition, as AI systems voraciously consume vast corpuses of data for training, they impinge upon existing IP rights, particularly those pertaining to copyright and databases. They also test the limits of the current system of exceptions and limitations during the development phase of AI models and systems. The complex challenges AI poses require careful and detailed analysis to ensure that the crucial balance between fostering innovation and protecting IP rights is maintained.

 Submission Guidelines
 
Abstract Submission: In the spirit of scholarly discourse, we invite the submission of abstracts not exceeding 300 words. The abstract should encapsulate the research question, methodology, and anticipated findings with clarity and precision.
 
Who Should Submit
 
This conference is open to IP scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, and researchers from all domains of IP law. We seek contributions that are not only innovative but also capable of fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and pushing the frontiers of current IP law scholarship.
