International Lessons in Cyber Law
HSE’s international summer school on cyber law took place for its third time this year and saw the participation of young academics from Russia, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Slovakia, Armenia, India and a number of other countries. Invited experts included Gaetano Dimita of Queen Mary University of London, Giovanni Riccio of the University of Salerno, and David Bernstein from IBM Israel.
Lessons focused on the development of law in the field of intellectual property, law in the IT sphere, and national jurisprudence on the Internet. Among other issues, summer school participants discussed lesser-studied problems with the globalization of patent law, legal responsibility and other aspects of law surrounding the use of social networks, e-money and 3D printers. The international makeup of the school allowed participants to consider these issues in a comparative legal framework.
Irina Bogdanovskaya, the head of HSE’s Laboratory of Information Law, comments:
— Since our laboratory works with leading IT companies, the school was able to take on a practical approach as well. In particular, master classes were given by lawyers currently working at companies such as Yandex, MegaFon, Kaspersky Lab, Google and others. They discussed information security, the legal and technical aspects of the fight against spam, and other relevant topics.
