International workshop on “Unfair competition within (and beyond) IP”

International workshop

Event time

24.11.2016 07.00 – 25.11.2016 07.00

Location

Hanken, Futurum, Arkadiankatu 22, Helsinki

The conference is meant to be the international kick-off of a larger project to be conducted under the title FAIR IP, the aim of which is to explore (1) to what extent the notion of “honest practices in industrial or commercial matters”, as enshrined e.g. in Art. 14 TMD and 12 EUTMR as well as in the Trade Secrets Directive, has become an autonomous term of EU law that has an impact beyond the areas to which it directly pertains, and (2) to what extent that notion can be instrumental in IP law, even where it is not expressed in the legal texts. In addition, we want to explore means and methodology that can help us forming a somewhat more ‘tangible’ approach towards the issue.

The full detailed program will be announced later.
