A Successful Blockchain supported Demand Chain relies on 1. ensuring your internal systems all function effectively together and 2. ensuring you have trusted partners all along your supply chain who can and will work together using a single digital ledger. These partnerships rely on established and mutually agreed upon standards. This section of the workshop will explore how to determine the correct standards and implement them effectively across multiple participants.

With each passing year, supply chains become more complex and globalized, making their management and control more and more difficult. As a distributed digital ledger technology, Blockchain promises on easing supply chain management problems: Transparency, traceability, and security.
Blockchain stands to transform fundamental relationships and interactions throughout our global supply chains. The breadth of change may extend to our legal transactions and disputes with suppliers, providers, and customers, as well as our interactions with and enforcement by regulatory agencies. This session will quickly explore those high impact opportunities and challenges that blockchain represents for legal and regulatory landscapes.

Inefficient document handling systems along the supply chain provides a toll on company profits. Maintaining bureaucratic paper trails required to manage modern supply chains are costly and inefficient. Established industry players and supply chain startups are beginning to utilize blockchain to optimize their value chains, improve inefficiencies and free up working capital, and make goods and services more accessible.
When goods reach their final destinations, most buyers and sellers do not know the true origins of the manufactured products including the ingredients of the goods they have purchased. Transparent supply chain solutions have the potential to provide consumers and other downstream participants higher standards of responsibility and sustainability in sourcing and production: (a) transparency of environmental impact, such as or measuring diesel pollution of trucks at shipping ports, (b) food provenance: origins, production type and ingredients of the food we eat, conditions under which the plants are grown, animals treated.
Countless people become ill due to contaminated food every year, leaving people wondering how food supply chains can be made safer. Enter blockchain, with this technology tracking a product from retail shelf back through every stage of the supply chain can only taker seconds instead of days or weeks. This is instrumental in tracking and tracing sources of food contamination.

In this panel, we discuss blockchain’s established, rigid, and transparent attributes that are championing ethical business practices by enabling consumers with an understanding of provenance, protecting local environments and reducing exploitation of workers. It is truly a tool for change, bolstering an era of the "conscious consumer.
Blockchain brings with it its own unique set of challenges with regard to the creation, protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in the supply chain world. Areas of planning include the legal impact of standard setting and their interplay with patent rights, data security and cyber risks, the challenges associated with open source platforms, the challenge of protecting IP on the blockchain, and external IP threats to products and platforms. These topics will be discussed to identify issues that must be considered, and strategies for addressing those issues.

https://www.hklaw.com/joshua-krumholz/Supply chains and operations have become increasingly dynamic, product life cycles are shorter, and ramp-up and ramp-down periods are more intense. With blockchain technology, companies can rebuild their approach to supply chain management at the ecosystem level and go from limited insight into an integrated global view.
