Intellectual Property Rights are commonly understood as being essential to stimulate innovation and creativity. In that vein, most intellectual property regimes have traditionally focused on IP rights holders as the main agents to ensure the deployment of innovation and creative works. To what extent does the Intellectual Property framework take into account users and consumer interests as part of the equation? Is there a need for a better articulation of consumer interests within the intellectual property regime? Is it not as equally important to a coherent innovation and information policy?
In this thought provoking roundtable, our panelists will approach patent, trade-mark, copyright law, and its interaction with competition law, from the perspective of consumers.
