Dennemeyer, a global IP law firm, recently released a 60+ pages study on the future of intellectual property. Blockchain based solutions play a major role in the report and the final recommendations to companies are really in line with Bernstein's vision:
"23. Together with partners, create a blockchain-based alternative for conventional IPR that is quicker, more transparent, impossible to manipulate, and works without middlemen.
- Do not view new protective mechanisms based on technologies such as blockchain as a threat, but as an opportunity. Be a pioneer of a digitalized IP management. The significance of blockchain technology will not be decreased if blockchain options are not included in the legislation – in that case legislators would simply sever themselves from real developments."
Below you will find a portion of the study. You may request the complete version from the Dennemeyer blog. Kudos also for releasing it with a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.
