Organised by the University of Geneva and WIPO, with the collaboration of UNCTAD and the Universities of Hokkaido and Rikkyo. Sponsored by the GIAN.
This workshop will aim to identify interdisciplinary issues which may prevent or hinder the cross-border exchange of intellectual assets between China, Japan and Switzerland. In view of the extremely high variety and number of intellectual assets which exist and could thus potentially be analysed, the project will focus on two types of intellectual assets (i.e. music content and trade secrets) which are considered to cover diverse and representative aspects of human creativity (the cultural aspect for music and the business aspect for trade secrets). The goal of the project is to identify and overcome the legal and economic issues which may hinder or obstruct the cross-border exchange of intellectual assets (in particular issues of private international law) resulting from the applicable regulations in the above States, the ultimate goal of the project being to encourage cross-border communication and transfer of intellectual, cultural and business assets.
