The topic of this encounter is “Shaking the Good Old IP Kit: The Metaverse”. This encounter will notably aim at answering the following questions: “Are we going to witness the emergence of lex metaversum akin to medieval lex mercatoria? How can copyright and/or civil law doctrine deal with the subject matter? Will our privacy rights be honoured in the Metaverse world? More specifically, how to implement the right to be forgotten on the blockchain where nothing can be actually erased?”. More details and registration link here.
