The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), currently led by IP personality and academic Spyros Maniatis, is launching a series of virtual courses in different legal fields which will be delivered over the next few months.
“Back” to school …

Among other things, BIICL is also increasing its offering in the IP training field, by launching a series of short courses focusing on different areas of IP. For the time being, they are two courses that I have designed and will fully or partly deliver:

– Copyright and Data, 15 and 16 October 2021

This virtual course provides participants with an understanding of the main principles and rules governing copyright law at the international, regional (European Union), and national level. It also allows them to explore some of the most topical developments facing copyright law today.
Day 1 focuses on the nature and rationale of copyright, as well as requirements and scope of protection. Day 2 is dedicated to the analysis of recent developments and case law, as well as rights in data. On both days, participants will have the opportunity to test their understanding and apply their knowledge of the topics covered by practicing on real-life scenarios.

– Trade Marks and Designs, 29 and 30 October 2021

This virtual course provides participants with an understanding of the main principles and rules governing trade mark and design law at the international, regional (European Union), and national level. It also allows them to explore some of the most topical developments facing trade marks and designs today.
