Discussion of the EC's SEP Regulation Proposal

· About this forum

Join us as we delve into the European Commission’s current proposal for an SEP regulation and explore the incorporated ADR components. Help us compare this proposal to other examples of IP ADR, and contextualize it within the realm of standardization.

Following the presentations and discussion, we will host a social mixer. We also seek valuable input from our members. Your thoughts and ideas are instrumental in shaping the future events and content direction of the Munich IPDR. It's an opportunity for all members, both longstanding and new, to actively contribute and help steer the course. Your input is crucial in shaping the discourse concerning IP, ADR, and their intersections - and we look forward to having your unique perspective and active participation.

On the work of the Forum

Arbitration and mediation belong at the heart of intellectual property practice — not at its margins. The Munich IPDR Forum exists to make that shift practical.
