With this new initiative, "UAIPIT International Congresses: Intellectual Property, Information Technology and Conflict Resolution", the UAIPIT Project organizes annual conferences on IP protection, recent developments, and analysis and debate on crucial issues. The Congresses are unique and quality forums where experts discuss current affairs and perspectives on future IP protection and Information Technology topics. UAIPIT International Congresses are accessible forums for those persons interested in the protection of IP and IT.
