Event Overview

Regarding supply chains and intellectual property rights, various studies have been conducted to explore how SEPs and related rights should be enforced, how and with whom to negotiate licenses. The question is whether legal systems should be reformed to keep pace with the Age of the Internet of Things. In this symposium, practical and theoretical issues will be examined with reference to foreign and domestic trends, and the effect of innovation due to the future development of advanced technology on intellectual property systems will also be discussed.
