Do you agree with @nicrosslee who thinks that criticising blockchain technology is like criticising the alphabet?

On another note, why is he always talking about blockchain?

"Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer."

What topics do you think the #IPLiveBlog needs to be covering? Is anyone sitting on some meaty IP stories out there?

"The problem that @ANCParliament are sitting with here, is that if they tolerate this conduct it opens the door to anyone else to copy them" @DarrenTOlivier

We agree with Darren. There is no point registering your IP rights if you are not going to enforce them when infringed.

@DarrenTOlivier @GugsM @Radio702 "As soon as you are successful, people are going to try and copy you and political parties are no different here." @DarrenTOlivier

[IPLiveBlog @IPLiveBlog]

We have updated the #IPLiveBlog post to include @DarrenTOlivier's interview with @GugsM on @Radio702 earlier today. The show unpacks a number of critical elements raised in the blog post and is well worth a listen. https://t.co/f6FLlOjm11

We're interested to hear your thoughts on the latest post on the #IPLiveBlog about whether ADeC’s logo infringes the rights of @ANCParliament:

@DarrenTOlivier "... I could picture The Bell Pottinger Awards for example. (It) could be the counterpoint to the Loeries rewarding the worst advertising and marketing campaigns. Kind of like what the Razzies is to the Academy Awards. In that context, the brand could be… fitting."

[IPLiveBlog @IPLiveBlog]

We had some fun here on the #IPLiveBlog talking about "The Bell Pottinger Fire Sale" with @DarrenTOlivier throwing around some good ideas:

@nicrosslee "IP Registries worldwide largely depend on the maintenance and integrity of its databases. However, the cost of maintaining these databases, the efficiency of how they are run and the integrity of these databases require solutions."

[IPLiveBlog @IPLiveBlog]

@nicrosslee "The potential for blockchain technology is not merely for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Blockchain technology provides a means to create cheap, tamper-proof public databases for a variety of purposes."

@planetmoney "... the catch is that the famous Hydrox trade mark was still nestled in the bosom of a consumer goods giant. It’s a wonderful story and one that I would describe as David v Goliath crossed with Searching for Sugarman!" @nicrosslee
