Join Goodmans partner David Rosner on October 16th at 1:00 pm for the “Applying Competition Law to IP Disputes” webinar with the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC).
This webinar will provide an in-depth update on Competition Law tailored to IP lawyers and agents. Explore the latest developments in the Intellectual Property Enforcement Guidelines—your roadmap to understanding how the Competition Bureau navigates the crossroads between competition policy and IP rights. You’ll also gain practical insights into two key provisions of the Competition Act —Sections 79 and 103 — that open the door for private parties to take direct action in cases of abuse of dominance or deceptive marketing.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the purpose and scope of Sections 79 and 103
- Learn the process for bringing private applications under these provisions
- Explore the remedies available to address competition law breaches
- Understand how these tools can be leveraged in IP-related disputes
- Review real-world examples of private party applications
