Dear Members of the RIPE Cooperation Working Group, I would like to warmly invite you to the upcoming session of the *LCH Legal Masterclass* series, which I am organizing as part of our ongoing discussions on digital regulation, international law, and internet governance. 📅 *Friday, 25 April 2025 | 10:45–12:15 CET* 📍 Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Lodz, Room 1.27 and online 🎓 Certificates of participation available upon request 📝 To register: please send a blank email with the subject line *“LCH MC 04”* to *lch@wpia.uni.lodz.pl <lch@wpia.uni.lodz.pl>* by *24 April 2025 (EOB)* *Session Title: **“Intellectual Property Protection in the Age of Artificial Intelligence – Challenges for International Law”* The session will feature *Jan Janssen* (PETILLION, Brussels), who currently serves as *Secretary of the Intellectual Property Constituency at ICANN*. He will explore the global legal and policy challenges associated with IP rights in cyberspace—particularly in the context of AI and cross-border law enforcement.

Hi Michele, thanks so much for following up. Always good to get feedback on the list. We hosted RIPE NCC speakers at two earlier meetings in this series, and I believed these agenda highlights clearly showed the connection you were looking for: - UDRP and URS procedures for domain-related IP disputes - Intersections between IP enforcement and data protection (e.g., GDPR) - The dual role of AI as a tool and a challenge in IP enforcement - Algorithmic solutions for online IP conflict resolution but I'm glad to offer more details. Feel free to specify your query. Alternatively, a more focused DNS Abuse related discussion will happen tomorrow (Thursday), here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/227082259/20... Hope this helps!
