The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy, under the leadership of Professor , is organizing an international colloquium that will explore the interactions between innovation and competition law from a variety of perspectives.

In an economy where the capacity to innovate is conceived of as the driving force of today鈥檚 economy, intellectual property rights (IPRs) have generally been presented as being instrumental to such progress. In the last decade however, critics started to see in IPRs a potential for abuse, causing prejudice to fair competition and consumer welfare. CIPP鈥檚 colloquium will present a unique opportunity for students, policy-makers, scholars and legal practitioners to learn about the intersections between innovation and competition law in today鈥檚 rapidly-changing markets.

International speakers include

• , Commissaire, US Federal Trade Commission
• , Special Counsel to the Canadian Commissioner of Competition
• , Partner at McMillan LLP
• Professor , 91黑料网 Faculty of Law
• Professor , Vice Director of Tilburg Law and Economics Center
