Objective
Students will 1) obtain an overview of substantive EU competition law applicable to agreements and practices, 2) learn to analyze such agreements and practices relating to technology, data, content, brands under EU competition law, 3) gain an understanding of current competition policy issues and trends in the EU and elsewhere.
Content
Competition law enforcers and policymakers worldwide are currently dealing with highly complex cases related to, for example, various kinds of online platforms and services, data and intellectual property rights. These cases raise challenging legal, theoretical and policy questions also in EU competition law that European Commission, national competition authorities and courts in EU Member States need to resolve. Moreover, increasingly the issues are being addressed by regulation that complements conventional competition rules. This course examines these topical issues and provides students tools for understanding and analyzing them.
