Our Partner Rachna Bakhru, Managing Associate Swati Dalal, and Senior Associate Girish Bhatia recently attended the Pre-Annual Meet, where they engaged in enriching discussions on the dynamic and ever-evolving intersection of Intellectual Property (IP) and music. The session offered a platform to delve into the legal and creative dimensions of the music industry, highlighting the exciting opportunities and emerging challenges in protecting musical works in a digital-first world. Conversations ranged from rights management and licensing frameworks to the role of technology and innovation in shaping the future of music-related IP. It was a valuable opportunity to connect with industry veterans, peers, and thought leaders, fostering dialogue around creative rights, innovation, and enforcement strategies. The exchange of ideas offered fresh perspectives on how legal frameworks are adapting to support creators in this fast-paced, content-driven space. The event underscored the importance of continued collaboration among stakeholders to safeguard originality and promote fair use, especially as the boundaries of traditional IP expand into new territories of sound and digital media.
