Abstract:

Following the success of last year’s “Various IP Delicacies,” this year’s panel takes you into the heart of the Smart Digital Renaissance, where the boundaries of art, design, multimedia, AI, and urban innovation collide. With insights from experts hailing from the USA, Korea, Italy, Germany, and Hungary, we’ll navigate the evolving landscape of intellectual property in the context of smart cities and cutting-edge creativity.

Discover how IP issues play out when AI-generated designs reshape urban spaces, digital art transforms public installations, and multimedia interacts with city infrastructure. On the agenda are Copyright Conundrums in data-driven public art, Patent Paradoxes in smart technologies, Design Dilemmas in urban aesthetics, and Trademark Tangles in immersive experiences. We’ll also address privacy concerns surrounding data collection in smart environments, exploring the delicate balance between individual rights and the benefits of a connected urban experience.

This year’s session will explore how licensing and IP frameworks are adapting to a future where cities themselves become canvases for innovation and expression. Whether you’re an IP expert, artist, or smart city enthusiast, “Various Legal Issues in the Digital Urban Landscape” promises a dynamic journey through the future of creativity and digital rights in the urban age.
