The bachelor module "IP in the Digital Single Market" and IPKM programme gladly present a specialized lecture by Dr. Gaetano Dimita, Senior Lecturer in International Intellectual Property Law at CCLS, Queen Mary University of London. On 10 September 2021, at 18:00, Dr. Dimita will discuss the IP protection afforded to video games, with a particular focus on video game cloning. Please register here if you want to join.

This lecture will focus on the legal nature of videogames as complex, born-digital and interactive copyright works and the misalignments between copyright and the most successful and fast growing of the creative industries. We will look at copyright protection for video games, and how cloning of video games can be addressed.
