The Hungarian Chapter of LES is pleased to announce that in 2021, it will once again host the Pan-European Conference of the LESI, which will be held on 5-6 October 2021, as an online event.

The pandemic – temporarily yet with a lasting impact – changed the forms of communication, but it could neither stop nor slow down innovation.

On the contrary, what the pandemic has taken away from humanity is being given back by innovation. However, throughout the entire history of innovation, effective knowledge transfer has perhaps never been so urgently needed for success. We feel this on our skin as knowledge transfer professionals: we need to simultaneously recognize, understand and apply the development of technological solutions, and implement best practices prompted by newly emerging solutions.

The sessions of the 2021 Pan-European Conference were built around the theme “Sharing is caring”, shedding light on the collaborative side of IP: using it as a tool for creating synergies instead of promoting exclusionary conduct. The program covers no less important areas than the role of patent pools in standardization, IP management in company groups, trade secrets and know-how licensing, IP tools to tackle global challenges, university technology transfer, AI and data economy, IP enforcement questions including ADR, and the latest developments in the European copyright arena.

We are looking forward to meeting you and our esteemed Sponsors with a quality programme and world-class speakers!
