On 13 April 2015, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) – one of the three antitrust authorities in China – published the long-awaited regulation on how China’s Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) applies to the exercise of intellectual property rights (IPRs).
In this one-hour lunch seminar, our Beijing office partner Adrian Emch will address these topics, in particular:
- introduce the new SAIC regulation on IPR abuses;
- give an update on antitrust cases involving standard essential patents, in and outside China; and
- explain the underlying issues in the “pay-for-delay” cases in the United States and Europe, and the recent AML enforcement focus on the life science sector in China.
