This far into the 21st century, everyone should be familiar with the concepts of artificial intelligence and the metaverse. This course not only explains what these are but also explains the intellectual property issues that arise from using them and the areas you need to know to operate in today’s (and tomorrow’s) world!
This course will ensure you are informed about the latest technological developments in AI and the Metaverse and how they work – which is an essential prerequisite to understanding the intellectual property issues that arise from their use - all of which this course covers.
The first half of this 3-hour programme is an explanation of AI and the metaverse and the IP and other legal issues arising from them; the second half is a workshop, working through a practical scenario where you will negotiate an IP clause from a fact pattern involving these issues.
Attending this event also gives you the opportunity to ask questions of the expert presenter.
