The CIPIL Intellectual Property Seminar Series brings together specialist speakers to discuss prevailing issues in relation to copyright, patents, trademarks, design rights, and other subjects.
The Centre brings together a group of legal academics already recognised for their historical and inter-disciplinary, as well as doctrinal, research. Drawing on the resources of Cambridge University, CIPIL is ideally positioned to carry out and promote well-informed interdisciplinary work.
Subject to speaker consent, the lecture component for each seminar will be made available in audio via the CIPIL Intellectual Property Seminar Series podcast or in video via YouTube. Any Q&A or discussion sections are typically not included to encourage frank and open discussion.
You can subscribe for an audio feed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or most podcast services for automatic download, or an RSS feed is available for use on other platforms.
Seminar Programme
All seminars take place at 5.30pm unless otherwise stated.
Audio recordings of most of these events are available on Captivate (and most popular podcast apps) or Apple Podcasts/iTunes.
