IPPro The Annual 2018/19
The beating heart of the world is reaching new heights in innovation, with technology coming to the forefront in 2018 as an enabler of efficiency and automation. In the intellectual property industry, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain are beginning to shape the burgeoning technology services landscape, and exciting opportunities for both inventors and law firms alike are beginning to present themselves. However recent regulation, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation has drawn a line in the sand for enforcers, resulting in far-reaching consequences across continents, and leaving brands open to attacks from those wanting to hide behind anonymity on the internet. All this, and more, is discussed inside IPPro: The Annual, which features comment and analysis from the world’s leading IP associations. We hope you like its new coat of paint and, as ever, if you have any feedback or suggestions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

IP theft in today’s digital age is becoming ever more prevalent and complex. It costs governments and companies a lot<br />

drugs and car parts.<br />
