Outline of the Event:
The Workshop on IP Management Case Studies is a joint Bocconi-EPO event. Its purpose is to
discuss relevant practical cases on successful use of intellectual property starting from relevant
studies published recently published internationally. The event will gather one speaker for each
article and will permit a debate between lawyers and economists on each of the topics addressed
by the articles. To this end, there will be, for each article presentation, an Academic as discussant
and an Academic as moderator, mostly from Bocconi University Law Department and other
Bocconi University Departments. Colleagues from other interested areas will also be involved in
the event and are mostly welcome.
The expected, final result will be a real debate around each article presentation, rather than a mere
sequence of lectures. This will allow to draw conclusions on best practices and the way forward for
intellectual property protection and promotion, both for law and economics.
