Fashion Law Bootcamp
The Fashion Law Institute returns to Silicon Valley
for an
in-depth look at fashion law and technology!!
At the Fashion Law Institute, when we want to learn more about cutting-edge industry developments that we believe will have major business and legal implications, we go straight to the source. For this Fashion Law Bootcamp: Special Edition on fashion and technology, we'd like to bring you along with us.
From wearables and smart textiles to data security and the disruption of the retail landscape, innovations in technology and design are transforming the fashion industry. Fashion Law Bootcamp: Special Edition will give you an inside look at how the multi-billion-dollar fashion tech sector is creating new opportunities for lawyers, designers, and entrepreneurs.
Fashion Law Bootcamp: Special Edition takes place from July 15-17, with classes at Levi's and The RealReal in San Francisco and Apple headquarters in Cupertino. This advanced survey of cutting-edge issues in fashion law and tech will cover such topics as
- intellectual property,
- counterfeit detection,
- licensing,
- data security and privacy,
- venture capital and fintech,
- blockchain and trade,
- wearables and health care,
- M&A, search, and antitrust,
- retail design, and
- social media marketing.
The program will start with a visit to Levi's on Wednesday afternoon, followed by a full day of classes on Thursday that includes a session at The RealReal and insights from other industry leaders. On Friday we'll travel to Cupertino, where Apple attorneys will join Professor Scafidi and other Fashion Law Institute faculty in discussing the emerging legal future of fashion tech.
