Mr. Thompson’s topic will be: “The Changes Coming to Intellectual Property Protection in the U.K. as a Result of its Impending Brexit.” This presentation will explain what will happen to EU rights, which previously had effect in the United Kingdom, as well as what will happen to UK rights which previously had effect in the EU. Mr. Thompson will also discuss the precedential effects of decisions of different courts and administrative bodies which have had effect while the UK has been part of the EU.
