CREATe, the RCUK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy, will host the 10th Annual Conference of the EPIP Association (European Policy for Intellectual Property) association in Glasgow, September 2-3, 2015. Scholars and practitioners interested in the economic, legal, political and managerial aspects of intellectual property rights are encouraged to attend the conference with or without scientific paper presentation.
EPIP 2015 is organised in cooperation with the European Commission who will participate in several panels.
The conference will explore the role of Intellectual Property in the Creative Economy, with a focus on copyright, data and the changing economics of the digital world. Conceptual and methodological overlaps with the traditional topics of EPIP relating to patents and technological innovation are particularly encouraged.
Plenary sessions will focus on the digital economy, economic history and evidence, copyright reform and big data. Panels are also being prepared on the unitary patent, and overlap of trade dress and designs.
