Registration to the new edition of the CEIPI advanced training program on “Internet Platforms, GDPR and Intellectual Property Enforcement” is now opened. The training program will take place in Strasbourg from 6 to 8 December 2018.

As a lawyer, entrepreneur, or policy maker working at the forefront of Internet and technology industry, you must know how web-based and mobile technologies can be protected, which obligations apply to access providers and communications platforms like Google, Twitter and Facebook, and whether and when they are liable for their users’ online activities. These are critical emerging issues for online businesses and key factors that affect innovation.

This training program will explore legal, policy and ethical issues facing online businesses and intermediaries from a national and international perspective. In this course, the participants will learn about novel issues of Internet jurisdiction and innovation regulation. The course will discuss the legal framework, case law and enforcement strategies dealing with intermediate liability for copyright, trademark, and privacy infringement, including a broader overview of data protection obligations emerging under the newly enacted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It will provide key notions regarding patentability, protection and business strategies related to web-based and mobile technology. Also, this course focuses on the role of Internet platforms and service providers in moderating the speech they carry for customers, including obligations and liabilities for defamation, hate and dangerous speech.

The training program will pay great attention to online platforms’ regulation within the GDPR and the upcoming Digital Single Market (DSM) reform package in Europe. It will expose participants to most recent caselaw from European and other international courts, while providing state-of-the-art understanding of the legal aspects of Internet technology and recent intermediary liability trends online.
