Please be advised: This event will premiere LIVE on this page at 12:00 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, March 17.

Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Urška Petrovčič and expert panelists David Kappos, Jonathan Barnett, Dina Kallay, and Stefanie Mielert for a discussion on the future of antitrust and intellectual property (IP) rights.

In the United States and in the European Union, the courts have provided much-needed guidance regarding the interface of antitrust and patent rights—recognizing the need for a balanced approach that protects the interests of all market participants, including technology users and innovators. Public agencies on both sides of the Atlantic have adopted a similar path. These achievements are particularly timely, considering the accelerated deployment of the 5G standard across different industries. Please join our expert panel for a discussion on these developments and their implications for the future.
