September always brings this back-to-school-feeling, so if you are looking for ideas to learn new things (or to apply your existing skills at a new job), check the opportunities we share in this post and in our ‘Forthcoming events’ page.
Vacancies
Maynooth University is currently recruiting a Post-Doctoral Researcher and a Research Assistant for a research project that investigates the role of bioethics in the patenting and licensing of technologies related to the human body. Closing dates for the applications are, respectively, 26 and 22 September.
Netflix is seeking to hire an experienced intellectual property lawyer, to join its London-based team.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has opened a vacancy for a legal affairs officer within the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and Intellectual Property Group of the Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Division. The deadline for applications is 30 September.
Events
On 19 September, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) are celebrating their 30th anniversary by holding a joint seminar in Alicante and online. The event will cover all the recent hot topics, such as the copyright protection for outputs of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and the reform of designs and geographical indications (GI) laws. Registrations are free and are still open until the 9th of September. And while you are planning a trip to Alicante, save 28 and 29 January 2025 for a Geographical Indications Conference, jointly organised by the EUIPO and the European Commission. This GI-loving Kat is already marking her calendar!
On 23 September, Marques, in cooperation with Stockholm University and the Swedish Anti-Counterfeiting Group, is organising a training “From Strategy to Practice – Theoretical and Practical Aspects of IP Law”. Participation is possible both on-site and online and registrations are open until 18 September.
On 24 September, the Copyright Clearance Center is holding a webinar on “AI and Copyright: Essential Information for Global, Cross-Border Business”. A panel of experts from academia and private sector will cover the most relevant issues surrounding AI and copyright.
Other
The European Commission has opened a public consultation on the communication, promotion, and the international dimension of the new EU regime on craft and industrial GIs. The consultation is open until 10 October.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
