Impacts of Covid-19 on intellectual property in multiple jurisdictions

The world has confronted one of the most challenging times in modern history. As a result of the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, countries have taken drastic measures to ensure the health and safety of their citizens, and to avoid an economic crash.

The IBA Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee have compiled numerous responses from various jurisdictions on the impact of the pandemic on IP. We hope this will serve as a guide for the measures that IP Offices have taken in the different jurisdictions.
