ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The intersection of competition and intellectual property law is an important topic given developments in technology, business practices and innovation.
A recent United Nations Conference on Trade and Development report accurately outlines the gist of this critical and timely topic: The main objective of intellectual property is to encourage innovation and provide incentives for innovation by granting temporary protection to inventors.
The objective of competition policy is to promote economic efficiency and ensure that markets function effectively for the benefit of consumers by correcting market failures. The ultimate goal of both intellectual property and competition policy is to enhance economic growth and consumer welfare. However, the exercise of intellectual property rights under certain circumstances may raise competition-related concerns.
