The ATRIP 39th Congress - Online

The Exploitation of Intellectual Property Rights: In Search of the Right Balance
ATRIP 39TH CONGRESS

The 39th ATRIP Congress will focus on the interplay between the substantive provisions of all IP rights and the way these rights are being exploited. Taking as its starting point that the granting of rights and the exercise o those rights constitute two sides of the same coin, the Congress will investigate methods to ensure that enforcement and contractual practices support the goals of the IP system.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome to the 39th ATRIP Congress. The theme of this Congress is “The Exploitation of intellectual property rights: In search of the right balance”.

The IP legislation consists of a tightly knit framework of weights and counterweights, which aim to balance the interests of right holders and users to promote welfare and fairness. But what happens when right holders and users exploit their rights in ways not anticipated by the legislation? Over the past year, we have all witnessed and globally debated the balance between private IP rights in view of public and national interests to ensure equitable access to medical innovations in the context of a public health crisis. How adaptable and flexible can and should the IP framework be?

Taking as its starting point that the granting of rights and their exercise constitute two sides of the same coin, the Congress will investigate methods to ensure that enforcement and contractual practices support the goals of the IP system.

This is the first time an ATRIP Congress takes place on-line. We regret that the COVID-19 continues to prevent us from holding the conference in Seoul, Korea as originally intended. In these unprecedented times and as we resiliently emerge from a global pandemic, the health and safety of our members, their families, and our communities remain our priority. We expect to be able to welcome you to Copenhagen in 2022 for the 40th next ATRIP Congress. Until then, holding the Congress virtually will be a great opportunity to continue to share your research with the wider ATRIP community.

I look forward to welcoming you virtually to the Congress and hope you enjoy the 39th annual ATRIP Congress.
