The 2016 Macao IPKM-IEEM Seminar - www.ipkm-ieem.nl
Now open for registration!
The event will cover the way in which intellectual titles function as property. Not content with approaching intellectual property as a title conferring a 'negative right' to exclude others, right holders have increasingly argued that the right to property entitles them to a 'positive' right that protects their investment against expropriation or other measures that negatively affect their 'legitimate expectations'. The seminar thus looks at the way in which regulatory and policy freedom of a state is curtailed by intellectual property rights, but also how intellectual property can be valued, act as collateral for the purpose of investment and IP exchanges.
The seminar is organised by Maastricht University IPKM in cooperation with the Institute for European Studies of Macau and will take place from 28-30 November in Macau and Hong Kong.
