Open blockchain protocols are generally based on open-source software, where intellectual property rights (patent, copyright, trademark) are generally not pursued. But when devs build dApps on top of open platforms, questions of IP ownership soon follow. Additionally, building a product or service "on the block" requires savvy entrepreneurs and owners to manage and leverage trademark and trade secret rights and protections. Our panel experts will explore all of these essential topics.
