Transactions involving IP – How do anti trust authorities evaluate them?

In the regulatory framework of economic competition, the competent authorities may have the power to evaluate the effect of a purchase or merger of companies and to condition the materialization of the transaction. In IP-intensive transactions, these conditions may include granting licenses to third parties, the divestiture of distinctive signs and other actions that the authority deems necessary to mitigate a specific concentration. Speakers will share practical experience in this type of operations and the discussion of applicable criteria, as well as the presentation of practical cases.
