IP Discussions - Video Games

Why You Should Attend:

IP Discussions with Joshua Simmons is a series of conversations hosted by nationally recognized intellectual property litigator, Joshua Simmons. Each month, Josh is joined by a panel of IP luminaries, leading scholars, and industry insiders. Together, they examine major topics and events in a civil, roundtable format.

Although video games have existed in one form or another for almost 80 years, they also continue to push the envelope when it comes to intellectual property issues. Part computer program, part audiovisual work, the creativity that the video game medium enables is unparalleled, whether in the form of immersive fictional worlds, the replication of the real world, or permitting users to manipulate either in whatever way their own minds can imagine.

What You Will Learn:

• How can video games continue to benefit from First Amendment protections from trademark claims?
• What risks and opportunities are presented to video games by advances in artificial intelligence?
• What practical clearance and enforcement advice all practitioners can take away from particular experiences in the video game industry?

IP lawyers and practitioners advising clients on video games issues should find this program to be informative
