WEBINAR: Intellectual Property Law for Smart Textile Innovators

Join us for this members-only event, featuring European legal and business experts.

During the webinar, we will explain and discuss the notions and best practices related to intellectual property (IP) and smart textiles: trade secrets, national patents, prior disclosure issues, EU patents, the Unified Patent Court-to-be, and litigation. Our speakers will present the issues from a general European standpoint, as well as the perspective of two contrasting systems: Italian and German, especially how each one enforces patent laws.
