Siaradwr Cymraeg Sylfaenol
Mae Stefano yn gyfreithiwr cymwysedig yn yr Eidal, gyda phrofiad helaeth o ymchwil ac addysgu ym maes cyfraith a pholisi eiddo deallusol. Cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Abertawe, bu'n addysgu eiddo deallusol a phwnc cysylltiedig ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru, lle bu hefyd yn arwain y cyrsiau ôl-raddedig ar eiddo deallusol a'r LLM mewn Eiddo Deallusol ar gyfer staff Swyddfa Eiddo Deallusol y DU. Mae Stefano yn Olygydd y Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice (Oxford University Press) ac mae wedi cael ei ddewis fel Arweinydd Ymchwil Cymru yn y dyfodol gan raglen Crwsibl Cymru yn 2017.
Mae ei brif faes ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar gyfraith batentau (gan gynnwys agweddau hanesyddol a damcaniaethol cysylltiedig) ac ar y rhyngweithio rhwng eiddo deallusol a chyfraith cystadleuaeth (e.e. patentau hanfodol safonol, trwyddedu FRAN/D, setliadau talu am oedi neu daliadau gwrthdro, trosglwyddo technoleg).
Mae ganddo ddiddordeb arbennig mewn deall y ffordd y mae technolegau newydd (deallusrwydd artiffisial, blockchain, data mawr, roboteg) yn llywio ein canfyddiad a'n dull o ymdrin â hawliau eiddo deallusol, yn ogystal ac ymchwilio i addasrwydd y fframwaith cyfreithiol presennol i ddelio â thechnolegau newydd.
Mae gan rai elfennau o'i ymchwil natur drawsddisgyblaethol ac maent yn archwilio cysylltiadau rhwng cyfraith eiddo deallusol a llenyddiaeth, economeg, meddygaeth a hanes. Mae hefyd yn astudio effaith hawliau eiddo deallusol ar ddatblygu diwylliannau arloesi, ym meysydd gwyddoniaeth a diwylliant, a'u heffeithiau ar gystadleuaeth, tryloywder y farchnad a lles defnyddwyr.

CSLM74 Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and Smart Contracts for Lawyers
This is a module on modern blockchain technology and its major applications. It will give an overview on the technological setup of major cryptocurrencies, and introduce the blockchain as a concept for determining the order of events in a distributed database. In addition, it will discuss the implementation of smart contracts and summarise the current state of the art of security issues in cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and smart contracts. It will also provide an overview of the legal status of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, examining their use in legal practice.
LAA391 Intellectual Property Law
Intellectual property law aims to protect ingenuity and creativity to foster cultural, technological and commercial innovation. Through specific rights, which include patents (for inventions), copyright (for, inter alia, literary, musical, dramatic and artistic works) and trade marks, intellectual property provides the tools needed to ascertain the protectability of incorporeal assets, determine their appropriability and address acts of infringement. This module provides an overview of the key areas of intellectual property law (patents, copyright and trade marks), exploring their effects on innovation and competition through real-life scenarios that analyse cutting-edge issues in the field (from IP for artificial intelligence to fan fiction, food copyright, BitTorrent and streaming platforms, use of photographs on social media, etc.).
LAAD00 Dissertation
This module provides students with the opportunity to undertake an in-depth and critical examination of an area of LegalTech in which they are particularly interested. Supervision will be provided in accordance with the procedures set out in the LLM LegalTech Handbook. Students should refer to the Handbook for information on supervision.
LAAD01 LegalTech Project
Students will seek to develop a technological solution to a legal services challenge in commercial law or access to justice settings. Students will be able to use any software application or program language. Supervision will be provided in accordance with the procedures set out in the LLM LegalTech Handbook. Students should refer to the Handbook for information on supervision.
LAAM24 Digital Intellectual Property and LegalTech
Technological innovation is radically transforming legal practice, prompting lawyers to develop new ways of thinking about, researching and applying law. Through this module, students will acquire a critical understanding of the intellectual property issues that surround Legal Tech (including artificial intelligence, big data, software development and licensing, and databases), engaging with their practical dimension and reflecting upon the significance of such issues for legal practice.
LAAM37 Contemporary Issues in LegalTech
LegalTech is revolutionising the way in which legal services are designed and delivered all around the world. New technologies are introduced at a very fast pace, with existing ones evolving rapidly in response to increased market demand. Regulators and policy-makers constantly introduce new and amended regulations to accompany the technological evolution, while courts deal with complex questions of interpretation and application of existing and new frameworks of law to legal technologies. Law firms and start-ups introduce new legal services based on LegalTech innovation, driving a transformation of the legal sector that has a profound impact on our society. This module seeks to explore the most cutting-edge issues that accompany such transformation, analysing current developments, related to the introduction of new technologies, amended or new regulations and relevant case law. It aims to contextualise such changes, providing a basis for future research, and to encourage a critical discussion on their significance and impact, predicting future trends and further developments. The module also seeks to help students develop skills that are becoming increasingly important for LegalTech professionals, for example in relation to entrepreneurship, ethics and interdisciplinarity. The module will offer a mix of different learning opportunities, with research-based lectures, practical workshops, seminars, guest lectures and talks with LegalTech professionals. This variety reflects the nature of the LegalTech field, where academic research sits alongside practical implementation, with innovation taking place in the diverse environments of law firms, start-ups, universities, legal innovation laboratories and more. The assessment offers students a chance to reflect critically on the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the year, to carry out research on a LegalTech development of interest and to communicate such research in a presentation and blog post. This will allow students to develop important professional skills, including in research and communication, helping them become well-informed, engaged and responsible LegalTech professionals.
