David Bowie | IP Trailblazer – Presentation

David Bowie –Artist, Renaissance Man and IP Maestro. The man of many names, faces and alter egos such as Ziggy Stardust, the Alienated Alien and the Master of Reinvention was also an IP Trailblazer who left us with groundbreaking insights on IP protection and asset development in the music business.  On 14 April, leaders in the music industry joined our discussion on the protection of IP rights in the tricky music business. The talk was aimed at performing artists, songwriters, composers and musicians and it addressed how Bowie not only changed the face of performance art, but also of IP protection and asset management and development in the tricky music industry.
