9^th Intellectual Property and Competition Forum

DATE
18 & 19 June 2024

LOCATION
Munich

Join OxViews’ 9th IP and Competition Forum in Munich on 18th and 19th June 2024 to discover, discuss and debate the most important topics in 2024. The Unified Patent Court is now in full operation and global competition for patent cases remains fierce. Artificial Intelligence constitutes a game changing technology. Discuss what its implications are for intellectual property and competition law. Equally, SEPs remain a focus of considerable attention: the European Commission’s proposed SEP regulation of last year and geopolitical relations have prompted policymakers around the world to assess their approach to standards. Meanwhile, we eagerly await the outcome of several high-profile trials. Topics at the 9th IP and Competition Forum will include:

Artificial Intelligence
Unified Patent Court and Litigation Strategy
FRAND and Standard Essential Patents
Recent Case Law and its Implications for Licensing
IP and the Public Interest, Copyright

Key actors from the judiciary, policy circles, private sector and academia have already expressed their interest.

A fascinating exchange between experts from different jurisdictions and specialities at a critical juncture in the development of standards necessary to achieve the interoperability of “things”.

I most enjoyed the balance between competing views, or rather different views from all points of the spectrum. I also appreciated that the discussions remained polite and to the point.
