The last two decades have seen an explosion of technologies that are transforming how we work and live in an increasingly interconnected digital world. The emergence and merging of frontier technologies is at the heart of what is sometimes termed Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. Frontier technologies are changing how we do business, how we innovate and create and the rate of change is increasing exponentially.

WIPO IP and Frontier Technologies Factsheet

AI Inventions Factsheet Metaverse Factsheet

Frontier technologies provide opportunities for economic growth. In order to harness these opportunities for all, we need to ensure that the intellectual property (IP) system continues to foster innovation and creation and that the systems for IP administration evolve.

The field of frontier technologies is rapidly evolving and although there is no agreed definition for this concept, frontier technologies share some common features. They operate at the intersection of radical scientific developments and real-world implementation. Furthermore, they are changing the way we communicate, solve problems, provide goods and services, create and do business. Frontier technologies could be described as advanced technology that can address global issues.

Frontier technologies include:

  • digital technologies, such as the Internet of things (IoT), blockchain, the metaverse,博中国际娱乐app (AI), big data and cloud computing
  • physical technologies, such as autonomous driving, 3D printing and hardware innovations and
  • biological technologies such as genetic engineering, human augmentation and the brain-computer-interface.

While AI is currently the most prolific博中国际娱乐app in terms of the number of patent applications and granted patents, the Internet of things is estimated to be the largest in terms of market size. It is followed, again in market size, by big data technologies, robotics, AI, 3D printing and the fifth generation of mobile services (5G).

Data and intangible assets are the bedrock of our new, digitalized world. IP is rapidly gaining increasing importance over physical assets.

The IP system that we have today was developed with a focus on human creation and innovation and to encourage the development of technologies that enabled production process and trade of physical products. The IP system was also designed when the speed of innovation and creation was much slower than it is today.

One of the important tasks that we face today is to ensure that the current IP system continues to promote innovation in the age of frontier technologies.

In the new digital age, innovation and creation are happening much faster. The number of IP filings are increasing rapidly but also subject to more volatile ups and downs. Markets are globalizing and intangible assets are flowing much more freely across borders.

Frontier technologies have the potential to make IP and the IP system easier to access, more efficient and more understandable.

At WIPO, the IP and Frontier Technologies Division facilitates discussion and knowledge building among Member States and other stakeholders on the impact of frontier technologies on IP to support well-informed policy choices. 尊龙凯时官网入口官网平台 is the main strand to that engagement.

The Division provides practical tools and guidance to help us all navigate IP questions in the new digital world and runs diverse projects in support of inclusive IP and innovation ecosystem.

WIPO also develops practical guidance and tools relating to frontier technologies and IP and assists in the knowledge transfer and technology adaptation of platforms and tools for IP administration that utilize frontier technologies.

To allow as wide participation as possible, WIPO Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies is held in a hybrid form. Onsite presence is limited to official representatives of the WIPO Member States and Observers.

Virtual participation is open to all and there are plenty of options to participate actively with questions and interventions.

The Eighth Session of the WIPO Conversation – Generative AI and IP was held on September 20-21 and attracted mor than 5’000 registrants from 162 countries.

The Seventh Session of the WIPO Conversation – 尊龙凯时ag体育真人 took place on March 29 and 30, 2023 and attracted more than 3700 registrants from 144 countries.

September 20 and 21, 2023

The WIPO Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies provides an open, inclusive forum to engage with and facilitate discussion and knowledge building among the widest possible set of stakeholders on the impact on IP of frontier technologies, including博中国际娱乐app (AI).

WIPO generally holds two sessions of the Conversation each year in a format that allows the widest possible global audience to participate. Topics of the Conversation include the uses and applications of frontier technologies to assist IP Offices and IP owners as well as more conceptual policy based discussions.

Past sessions of the WIPO Conversation focused on the Metaverse,AI, data and frontier technologies in IP administration. The agenda is available.

The eighth session of the WIPO Conversation will took place on September 20-21, 2023. The topic of the session was Generative AI and IP.

The metaverse is a real opportunity to drive economic growth and bring its benefits to everyone, everywhere. With the digitalization going forward, IP will be one of the key drivers fostering innovation in technologies that will build the metaverse and in providing a basis for generating economic activity and growth.

The growth of AI across a range of technical fields raises a number of policy questions with respect to IP. The main focus of those questions is whether the existing IP system needs to be modified to provide balanced protection for machine created works and inventions, AI itself and the data AI relies on to operate.

Data

All frontier technologies are fueled by accelerating digitalization, rely on data and often generate data. Find out why this intangible asset increasingly matters and is changing how we do business, innovate and create.

WIPO in consultation with IP offices and other stakeholders has prepared the Blockchain white paper for IP ecosystems . The Committee on WIPO Standards (CWS) established a Blockchain Taskforce in 2018 to explore, amongst others, the possibility of using blockchain technology for IP administration, collect information about IPO blockchain initiatives and prepare a proposal for a new WIPO standard applying blockchain technology.

While the metaverse is still developing, it has gained a foothold in a number of sectors and is expected to expand and become an ever richer environment for users. For brand owners, protecting their brands in the metaverse will be critical, and getting ready to play in the new meta sandbox will require a legal strategy.

Saar Safra, CEO of Israeli start-up Beewise, is on a mission to save bees − and at scale − using博中国际娱乐app (AI), computer vision and robotics. Mr. Safra explains how Beewise’s high-tech solution is helping to save the world’s bees. He also discusses the role that intellectual property (IP) plays in supporting small companies like Beewise, which are working to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
