AIPLA CLE Webinar: Astro-Intellectual Property: A New Frontier for Innovation

Join us for an interactive and engaging panel on Intellectual Property and its application in the NewSpace frontier. We’ll navigate the complexities of IP law in the dynamic realm of commercial space exploration and utilization. As private enterprises and nations push the boundaries of innovation beyond Earth, safeguarding advancements—from satellite technology to extraterrestrial mining systems—has never been more essential. Our discussion will delve into the delicate balance between transparency, collaboration, and protecting intellectual property, while examining the limits of current legal frameworks. We’ll also explore the need for new approaches to harness human ingenuity and pave the way for humanity’s evolution into a truly multiplanetary species.

Presented by:
Rachel Lovejoy, Space Exploration Technologies Corp
Michelle L.D. Hanlon, Air and Space Law Program, University of Mississippi
