Reshaping of Auto Tech Landscape and Emerging IP Issues

With multi-level integration of hardware, software, and systems for driver assistance (ADAS)/fully autonomous vehicles, V2V/V2I connectivity, and other vehicle technology developments, the mix of traditional automakers and pure technology companies alike are changing the landscape of the automotive industry. These emerging technologies and changes in the auto landscape bring to the forefront novel and intricate IP issues, ranging from disruption of supplier and competitor sets, IP ownership, IP protection, and the obligation to defend and indemnify.
