SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, April 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IP-related opportunities for investors and businesses are growing, but so are challenges to the reliability and value of patents and copyrights.

Lack of IP transparency - the source of IP rights, coupled with how and when they are being used - impacts society, investment and jobs, and can lead to fakes and theft.

Film, music and publishing leaders are among those saying copyright transparency matters when it comes creative expression and quality, especially when it comes to the use of artificial intelligence. For patented inventions, lack of transparency about ownership and reliability make them increasingly difficult license, and can discuade breakthrough innovation.

The future of creatives and many businesses depends on knowing who is using copyrighted content, both theirs and others', when and how? This requires an openness and ability to track content which is often lacking. Lack of transparency impacts society, investment and jobs, and can lead to theft and fakes. It also affects patented inventions.

The panel, "IP source, fakes and theft - transparency matters," is part of the 2025 IP Awareness Summit that is being held by the nonprofit Center for IP Understanding in conjunction with Dolby Labs at Dolby's  headquarters in San Francisco on April 24th.
