SUMMARY:Not following the rules can cost you: anti-competition law used t
 o punish improper IP enforcement 
DESCRIPTION:The panel will focus on the interaction between the enforceme
 nt of IP rights and competition law and particularly how the legitimate 
 enforcement of exclusive rights can be reconciled with the prohibition o
 f abuse of dominant position or economic dependency. While the uneasy co
 existence between exclusive rights and competition law has kept regulato
 rs and courts busy for many years\, it has come to the forefront again f
 ollowing the decision of the European Commission to fine the pharmaceuti
 cal company Teva not less than EUR 462.6m for abusing its dominant posit
 ion to delay competition by playing a 'divisional game.' The panel will 
 address questions about abuses of IP protection systems creating actiona
 ble competition abuses.\n
