    The Future of the IP Legal System and its Governance (with Ivo Gagliuffi, Chairman of the Board, INDECOPI, National Agency of Intellectual Property, Competition and Consumer Protection, Candidate of Peru for the Position of Director General of WIPO)

    The Future of the IP Legal System and its Governance (with Ivo Gagliuffi, Chairman of the Board, INDECOPI, National Agency of Intellectual Property, Competition and Consumer Protection, Candidate of Peru for the Position of Director General of WIPO)

    This episode is part of a special series of interviews with candidates for the position of Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

    Intellectual property (IP) rights have always been challenged by new technologies and new market trends, but the pace and depth of these challenges have increased over the last decade or so. In particular, groundbreaking technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, or even life science innovations have a disruptive impact on traditional IP legal concepts and systems. 

    Our guest shares his views on the future of the IP legal system and its governance, at a time when the number of patents and trademarks registrations indicate a rising demand for IP rights globally, confirming a global shift towards an “economy of knowledge”, with entirely new business lines thriving without almost any tangible assets – think software and algorithms, operating systems, or social media. 

    Ivo Gagliuffi Piercechi is a Peruvian lawyer with more than 20 years of experience in intellectual property, competition, and consumer law in both the private and public sectors. In 2016, the Peruvian government appointed him Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Institute for the Defense of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI), a public agency in charge of IP competition and consumer protection. He is also one of the remaining six candidates for the position of WIPO’s Director General. The Director General will be nominated in March 2020 and appointed in May 2020, for a term beginning October 1, 2020.

    The Future of the IP Legal System and its Governance (with Marco M Alemán, Director, Patent Law Division, World Intellectual Property Organization, and Candidate of Colombia for the Position of Director General of WIPO)

    The Future of the IP Legal System and its Governance (with Marco M Alemán, Director, Patent Law Division, World Intellectual Property Organization, and Candidate of Colombia for the Position of Director General of WIPO)

    This episode is part of a special series of interviews with candidates for the position of Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

    The fundamental goals of the intellectual property (IP) system, as designed for the industrial era about 100 years ago, have always been to foster creativity and innovation, by granting monopoly rights, providing them with a sustainable economic basis. 

    IP rights have always been challenged by new technologies, new market trends, but the pace and depth of these challenges have increased over the last decade or so. In particular, groundbreaking technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, or even life science innovations have a disruptive impact on traditional IP legal concepts and systems. For instance, how to create property rights in an algorithm that is constantly changing. 

    Our guest shares his views on the future of the IP legal system and its governance, at a time when the number of patents and trademarks registrations indicate  a rising demand for IP rights globally, confirming  a global shift towards an “economy of knowledge,” with entirely new business lines thriving without almost any tangible assets – think software and algorithms, operating systems, or social media. 

    Marco Matias Alemán is a Colombian lawyer who has spent the last 28 years in the IP world, as an IP attorney in a law firm, as Head of the Colombian Industrial Property Office (1995-1998) and at the policy level, holding several positions at the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) in Geneva since 1999.  Currently, he is  the  Director of the Patent Law Division at WIPO, and is also one of the remaining six candidates for the position of WIPO’s Director General. The Director General will be nominated in March 2020 and appointed in May 2020, for a term beginning October 1, 2020.
