Join Us: Goodmans IP Panel Discussion on September 26, 2018
On September 26, 2018, the Goodmans IP Team will be hosting a complimentary panel discussion titled "IP and Competition Law: Strategies to Minimize Risk and Maximize Opportunity".
Jordan Scopa, a partner in the IP Litigation group, will be moderating a panel that includes:
- Andy Harington of The Brattle Group, who has recently authored a book summarizing case law regarding quantifying IP damages;
- Ben Hackett, a partner in the IP Litigation group; and

IP rights are essential to business, both offensively in growing market share and defensively in protecting against competition. This interplay between IP and competition requires detailed planning and knowing the rules so as to target strategic opportunities and maximize corporate value.
We encourage you to join our panel to learn about cutting edge IP and competition law strategies that businesses can employ to minimize risks and maximize opportunities around IP, including:
- How has IP law’s approach to non-infringing alternatives changed, and how to adapt your business to the altered legal landscape?
- How does licensing your IP impact your potential remedies for infringement of your IP rights, and how to avoid compromising the value of your IP?
- How does competition law approach the enforcement of IP rights, and how to plan effectively for this dynamic?
- What is the interplay between IP law and competition law remedies?
