Shook Attorneys to Speak at IP and Technology Law Institute

Shook Intellectual Property Partner Camila Tobón and Art Law Senior Counsel Channah Norman will be presenters at the 23rd Annual Rocky Mountain Intellectual Property & Technology Institute, May 29, in Westminster, Colorado. 

Norman will speak on “IP Issues in Cultural Heritage,” along with Partner Carrie Frias of the Native Law Group. Topics include collective, non-commercial expressions v. IP ownership; limitations of copyright and trademarks to adequately protect cultural heritage; and online use of heritage materials, among other cultural heritage issues. 

Tobón will be speaking on “AI and IP Issues in Major Corporate Transactions, Parts I & II.” Topics covered include legal considerations (IP, licensing, freedom to operate) when acquiring an AI asset or company developing an AI product; due diligence and valuation for digital assets (e.g., NFTs, AI, blockchain, anything non-tangible); and patent-specific issues in M & A transactions.

The Institute brings together thought leaders, seasoned practitioners and innovators to explore how emerging technologies, global regulations and emerging legal theories shape the future of IP and technology law.
