Karen Abraham
Intellectual Property Litigator + Tech & Data Protection Law Expert
Topic
Who speaks when knowledge belongs to a community?
Karen Abraham heads the Intellectual Property Department at Shearn Delamore & Co.
Across more than 30 years of litigation, she has appeared before Malaysia’s apex courts and contributed to the development of the country’s intellectual-property jurisprudence. Her practice also spans technology, media, telecommunications, data protection, competition law and e-commerce.
Her work has brought her close to questions that become more difficult when knowledge does not begin with one author, inventor or owner.
At TEDxBukit Bintang, Karen enters the space where inherited knowledge, community authority, legal systems and emerging technologies begin to meet.
