SUMMARY:2025 Francis Gurry Lecture on Intellectual Property: livestream
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking Innovation: Balancing Protection and Access\nAs global competition intensifies in artificial intelligence\, quantum computing and other key emerging technologies\, balancing innovation protection with broad access becomes increasingly urgent. \nAddressing community and global challenges—including preparing for future pandemics—requires a nuanced approach that ensures innovations are both safeguarded and shared. To fully harness innovation for economic growth and societal benefit\, we must implement policies that lower barriers and empower broad participation in the innovation ecosystem. \nIn this year’s Lecture\, Kathi Vidal will explore how IP systems can evolve to foster innovation\, drive economic growth\, and maintain technological leadership\, all the while promoting collaboration and avoiding premature or excessive restrictions on ideas. Drawing from her leadership at the USPTO\, she will share insights from her work expanding the innovation economy and advancing balanced IP rights globally.
