Intellectual Property and Quantitative Analysis Theory with Anand & Anand
About this webinar
Chambers are delighted to invite you to join us for a webinar on 13 October with Anand & Anand. This webinar will cover the following talking points:
- The subjectivity in decision making of various concepts in Trademark Law leading to different outcomes by different Judges on matters having similar facts;Â
- The need to inject some quantitative or evidence based assessment which could make the outcome more predictableÂ
- The various models by which objective standards can be introduced:Â
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning modelled on past cases
- Industry agreements such as in the Copyright world on what is considered substantial, e.g., newspapers (800/400 Word Rule), music (8 Bar Rule), etcÂ
- Statistical models evaluating which factors ought to be given higher weightageÂ
- How can such systems be introduced in the coming yearsÂ
- Will the Judges, Arbitrators, Policy Makers and other decision makers, follow such objective criteriaÂ
