Hollister, CA April 8, 2016 – SafeHouse Web is sponsoring the event Techtainment: Technology + Entertainment hosted by the Los Angeles Intellectual Property Law Association (LAIPLA) and Loyola Law School Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 13. The program features two panels addressing the entertainment and technology industries, one discussing significant technological changes in media distribution and the other considering new methods for optimizing IP portfolios.
Loyola faculty and entertainment industry insiders will consider how technological advances are causing major changes in media distribution. Content providers are among those most affected by the changes brought on by new trends in technology, which will likely lead to a transformation in IP licensing and the way IP law is practiced.
The first panel, “For Your Consideration”, will consider recent changes in media such as the rise of digital television distributors like Netflix and the shift away from cable and satellite subscriptions. This panel will ask the billion dollar question: what happens when paid cable/satellite media distribution to American households dips below 50%? “The Final Frontier” panel will look at recent media mergers (e.g. Disney’s acquisition of Marvel and LucasFilms) and explore how entertainment businesses can similarly improve fan engagement and increase revenue streams with their own IP portfolios.
An interactive networking session will be held in between both sessions. This function is touted as a must-attend event for IP attorneys.
In the weeks leading up to the event, Techtainment: Technology + Entertainment has already gained attention on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
Mark Treitel, Secretary of LAIPLA, says, “This will be a great opportunity for attorneys that have clients in the technology + entertainment sector.”
