Rushing into the era of disruptive innovation, DX (Digital Transformation) is revolutionizing the industrial world and society, while data and digitalization are key components of DX. With the rise of AI and the growing importance of data and its use, licensors will have to develop new concepts to make best use of the legal means (such as patent, copyright or trade secret) and practical means (such as restricting access) available to protect such data. Those legal and practical approaches will in turn have implications for license agreements which will be at the center of this workshop. Panelists address how various industrial sectors such as automotive are going to handle data as assets, where they are going, and what points should seriously be considered in legal and practical aspects.
