The $500 million Esports industry has attracted more than 40,000 live attendees and tens of millions watching over the Internet. It operates within a different legal framework than traditional sports, with no single league, no governing body. The games themselves are protected by intellectual property rights.

This session provides legal practitioners an overview of the industry and its unique issues.
