José Herrera then took the floor and spoke in Spanish about legal protection of video games in Latin America via intellectual property rights (mainly copyright, trademarks, patents, publicity rights) and some references to protection of user data and eplayers, transfers of property rights from developers to production companies and casuistry in court litigation in sports. Finally, Chris Reid covered in English the general legal structure of the gaming industry and IP-related issues from the perspective of the United States, user-generated content and privacy issues: streaming rights / eSports and other uses of its online content, advertising rights and sponsorship - legal issues related to paid "influencers".
