Can IP laws protect your work from being ripped off when evolving technologies are constantly changing the rules of the game?

Content creation is at an all-time high due to platforms such as Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and the advent of new technologies such as NFTs has brought all kinds of challenges for IP lawyers when it comes to protecting your innovations or creations.

World Intellectual Property Day is an annual event that is celebrated on April 26. The theme of this year’s event was “IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future” with the goal of raising IP awareness among the younger generation.

PitchMark took the opportunity to organize a webinar - hosted by our founder Mark Laudi and legal advisor Frank Rittman as well as IP lawyers Cyril Chua from Robinson Law and Alban Kang of Bird & Bird ATMD - to discuss various challenges in copyright protection from technologies such as NFTs and whether creators and innovators can extract some benefit from a person who is monetizing your viral content.

PitchMark helps innovators deter idea theft, so that third-parties that they share their idea with get the idea but don’t take it. Visit PitchMark.net and register for free as a PitchMark member today.

In short, record companies tend to seize most of the control. But that might change, if start-ups pushing ownership models based on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) take off.
