NFTs and Smart Contracts - an in-house lawyers perspective
This webinar took place on 24 March 2022 and is now available on-demand.
Unless you have been completely absent from recent law in technology, you will have probably heard a lot about Smart Contracts and NFTs.
Smart contracts and the technology underpinning NFTs are here to stay, and like it or not, if you do any sort of contract law, then you’re going to have to learn at least something about Smart Contracts and NFTs.
This in-house lawyer session, as well as covering our usual legal updates, also features a guest speaker who is an in-house lawyer from a global brand that was involved in one of the largest and most public NFT deals of any brand to date. He talks through how the deal was structured, as well as the types of contracts used.
Watch on-demand to hear an in-house lawyer’s perspective about what it means to be involved in a deal of this kind and why - regardless of your specialism, you’re likely to need to know more about NFTs in the future!

Court of Appeal makes plea for legally enforceable arbitration for FRAND disputes
In the ongoing complex litigation between Optis Cellular Technology LLC and Apple Inc., the Court of Appeal ([2022] EWCA Civ 1411) has upheld the High Court’s findings that implementers of standard-essential patents (SEPs) cannot refuse to accept a FRAND license and continue activities in the meantime which constitute infringement: that party must commit to accept a court-determined license if it wishes to avoid an injunction.
