Goal

The Course is aimed at providing students with the basic concepts related to the interaction between competition law and IP law, as well as providing an outline of the main jurisprudence on the subject.

Forms of instruction

The evaluation method is a mix of continuous assessment (general active participation during the lectures + students will be asked to prepare a presentation on a topic or on a judgement), a moot case where students will be assigned a role in a hypothetical case, and a final oral exam. A written assignement (likely to be towards half of the course) might also be required.
