The Annual 'Hot Topics' Symposia series focuses on a variety of topics relevant to intellectual property law featuring panel debates, a keynote address, and individual talks by academics and practitioners. The events are designed to appeal to practitioners, academics, and students alike.

Part 2 will examine the intersection between intellectual property and antitrust law.  While historically these bodies of law were thought to conflict, they are now seen as complementary as both are aimed at encouraging innovation, industry, and competition.  In today's economy, it is critical to identify the policies that will allow a market economy based on IP to thrive.  Academics and both private and government practitioners will identify and discuss where antitrust and IP law work in harmony toward this goal and where there is still tension.
