The Intersections of Changing Regulatory Landscapes, Competition Law and IP Litigation
Questions surrounding patent density, divisional filings, FRAND rate-setting, aggregate royalty burdens, and injunctive relief continue to sit at the centre of global policy debate across the tech and innovation ecosystem. Focusing on global legislative reform and its interplay with competition law and patent policy, this session explores how industry policymakers are responding to perceived challenges in the technology patent landscape and the implications for licensing and litigation planning.

- Explore where competition law meets injunctions, including how courts judge whether each side has negotiated in good faith.
- Discuss how the debate over royalty levels and licensing transparency is shaping company strategy.
