The key topic of the forum was A Digital Economy Without Counterfeits: Trust and Transparency. It may sound complicated, however in essence, it concerns simple and important matters: how to ensure that consumers do not encounter counterfeit goods and that businesses feel protected. The organizers were the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), and the International Association Anti-Counterfeit. The main topics of discussion focused on the implementation of AI technologies in the field of intellectual property, product labeling within the EAEU, the protection of intangible assets, and the transparency of e-commerce.
Zhanat Nurmagambetov had a presentation titled Liability of Marketplaces for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. He discussed with the audience the need to introduce an institute of information intermediaries, the choice of a liability model for marketplaces, and other related issues.
