Second Act

Second Act: change is not linear / aritmethical any more: and this has

consequences

Second Act: change is not linear / aritmethical any more: and this has

consequences

BE AWARE: CHANGE BECOMES EXPONENTIAL

BE AWARE: CHANGE BECOMES STRUCTURALLY EXPONENTIAL

From arithmetical/linear to exponential.

From linear to exponential. The seven data generation exponential steps

46

• Step 1: 1987: Human generated data: Data generated by humans for humans

• Step 2: 2007: Human generated data: Data generated through the interaction between humans

• Step 3: 2010: Human generated data: Data generated through devices

• Step 4: 2015: Devices generate data without humans: Internet of Things (IoT)

• Step 5: 2019: Data is generated directly by machines without intervention of human beings (Artificial Intelligence, AI)

• Step 6: 2021: Massive arrival of 5G

• Step 7: ????: Quantics

El futuro

O esconder la cabeza en la arena ….

“The only relevant issue about the future is not whether something will happen or not, but rather

what would we do in the case that it would happen”

(Arie de Geus)

How transformative technologiesare going to change …?

• The work of IP offices

• The access to technology and to data/information/knowledge

• The IP legislative decision process

• The work of IP professionals

• The different aspects of the IP system (ie. concept of inventor, inventive step, creator, trade secret ...)

• The world of enforcement

• The IP education

• The one fits all concept (coming from the XIX century) into a one fits all does not fit at all concept

74

Conclusion

75

Elements to consider when reflecting about IP Horizon 5.0: all elements of society are

affected

Intellectual Property:

A system created to serve a society … which does not existanymore !!!

A bit of the same? Really? Let’s discuss it !!!
