Domain blocking services have been in existence for over a decade, with a range of small niche offerings enabling organizations to cost-effectively protect their brands. 

Whilst helpful, today’s blocking services do not provide sufficient reach or flexibility, reducing their impact when managing corporate domain portfolios.

In this 45-minute session, the Brand Safety Alliance team will share details of the organization’s upcoming GlobalBlock product including its features and plans for its launch—and an overview of how this innovation has been designed to begin a new era for online brand protection.

Unlocking New Revenue Streams from Brand Protection

This past year was incredibly eventful for the domain name industry. In 2022, we saw ICANN come under significant pressure to provide a solution for accessing non-public domain name ownership information.

- Changing domain market dynamics 
- Much, much more

And of course, they’ll be hauling out the old crystal ball to make their predictions for 2023 during this 60-minute webinar which will conclude with an interactive Q&A.

Applying Technology To Be a Strategic Advisor to Clients and Colleagues

As law firms move towards a client value-focused model, cutting-edge technology is vital to becoming a trusted advisory by offering best-in-class, cost-effective service. Perhaps no technology is more promising than artificial intelligence (AI), which promises not only to automate legal processes, but also to empower practitioners with invaluable legal and business intelligence. 

Join PatSnap for this topical panel on how attorneys are using AI, machine learning and other powerful technologies to upgrade their client relationships.

Expanding the OC Role With AI Tools

Selling through distributors is a proven and tested method to grow an online business’ revenue. However, this strategy comes with challenges as well as opportunities.

Without the ability to track and identify unauthorised resellers, brands are at risk of being targeted by grey market websites, leading to complaints from distributors, minimum advertised price violations, reputation erosion, and ultimately loss of revenue.

This is a situation that many brands face, including New U Life. As a leader in the supplement market, New U Life became a target for grey market vendors in South Asian marketplaces. In response to the brand’s rapid growth, combating unauthorised sellers quickly became a top priority.

In our webinar Red Points and New U Life will discuss winning strategies that brands can apply to identify and stop unauthorised online sellers and resellers at scale.

What you will learn:

• Top strategies to prevent grey market violations
• Impact of grey market on a brand’s revenue and reputation
• How brands can keep track of their products on sites such as e-commerce marketplaces, distributor websites, and grey market websites by leveraging technology

Grey Market Sales Online: Winning Strategies to Combat Them

China has become a critical jurisdiction for patents in recent years, but many international companies are surprised by the different requirements for patent applications in China from the US and elsewhere. 

This webinar will compare the two systems, focussing particularly on inventiveness, where the differences are significant and can trip up international companies. Chinese law requires new inventions to possess prominent substantive features and indicate notable progress over the prior art, but the steps used to get to those thresholds have distinct differences from US analyses of obviousness. 

Join us to learn more about these distinctions, and how you can ensure your patent applications can be successful in both the US and China.

The Differences Between Patent Applications in China and the US

Over the last year, questions and interest in blockchain domains (sometimes called decentralised domains, NFT domains, or web3 usernames) have grown considerably. 

What are blockchain domains, how do they work, and how are they being used today? 

Join Tyler Mason, senior director of strategy and advisory at GoDaddy Corporate Domains, on Wednesday, April 27 at 10am PT/1pm ET  as he reviews this technology. Specifically he’ll be covering:

• The different types of blockchain domain names
• Basics of how they work and how they differ from the traditional domain name space
• Questions related to trademark abuse and possible future name collisions

An Overview of Blockchain Domain Names

At the half-way point of 2021, the world has been engulfed by the COVID-19 pandemic for nearly 18 months. This amount of time is just enough to have a first look at patents and the IP landscape in Japan during this period.

In this webinar, Sonoda & Kobayashi Intellectual Property Law will get you up to speed with 2020’s IP developments in Japan as well as give clarification on the recent trends and shifts observed at the different patent offices.

Particular attention will be devoted to the latest figures of IP filings and litigation in Japan as well as the role of filing by international companies. The World Intellectual Property Organization reported a global increase in patent filing during 2020, but that has not been reflected in Japan, and it appears that the ongoing trend of lower total filings has grown during the pandemic.

The webinar will also address the latest trends with regard to a sub-class of ‘green’ patents: those concerning plastic recycling. Join us as we discuss this topic and other patent trends in the Land of the Rising Sun.
