The EU referendum of June 2016<\/a>\u00a0marked a turning point for UK and for the Intellectual Property landscape. Following years in which UK law has progressively integrated within the broader European framework, questions now arise as to the future of this process, and the forms it will possibly take after the withdrawal from the European Union takes place. Addressing this question involves a consideration of a number of pertinent issues. These include, amongst others, the structure of the unitary patent, the construction of a modern pan-European copyright system, the functioning of trade marks and other indications of origin in a market characterized by free movement of goods, the role and the weight of the ever-developing jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union in intellectual property matters, but also the harmonization of other neighbouring areas of law such as e-commerce and data protection. All such issues transcend the strict legal context\u00a0and will shape the future of our society, economy and culture as a whole.<\/p>\n

The CIPPM Annual Symposium<\/a> 2016 will address the uncertainties that surround the forthcoming role of UK in the European intellectual property arena, in an attempt to respond to some of the questions that have emerged in the wake of the referendum. It will do so by bringing together a selection of scholars and practitioners who have contributed, through their research and critical thinking, to a better understanding of the role of intellectual property rights in the construction of a common European public sphere. The aim of the symposium, ultimately, is to explore the ways in which, and the conditions under which, the question in the title can be responded in the affirmative.<\/p>\n
