Materials from the GCLC lunch talk on Google
Last Friday I was invited to speak on these issues at a GCLC lunch talk on “Google Search engines and competition law“. I truly enjoyed it.
I might develop the content of my presentation in a series of forthcoming posts, but today we’ll simply provide you with the presentations projected at the lunch talk.
I had the impression that the audience was a bit surprised at my rather unusual power point, which you can see here:
GCLC_Google_Lamadrid (looks better if you play the slide show; also, it’s password protected, so click “read-only”).
As I explained at the event, I decided to run the risk of projecting this ppp when I learnt that Google had pledged before the FTC not to ask for injunctions aimed at protecting its intellectual property 😉 Actually, I’m much more scared of my firm’s format-strict marketing department….
I shared the panel with Cédric Argenton (TILEC) and Anne Perrot (Mapp), both of whom did a great job. Here are their presentations: GCLC2013_Argenton & GCLC_Perrot
P.S. A necessary and fair disclosure. The power point I had in mind became real thanks to Enrique Colmenero, a terribly nice and smart guy, a techie and an entrepeneur who is now fortunately working with me on a few tech-related cases.

Alphonso, congratulations for your talk. It was not only the funniest talk I have attended in a very long time, but it was also clear, insightful and courageous. Good job!

If it weren’t because of the “ph” in my name I would’ve thought it was my mom commenting 😉
Thanks so much (although I doubt that “courageous” is an adjective that can be applied to a talk on competition law…). There was much more to be said, but time was short.
Thanks again!

Congratulations Alfonso! The ppt is great and very easy to follow, and you made a good summary of competition law and Google… I now can say that I have an idea of what´s going on with search engines and competition law. Thank you!

[…] take on the concern: As developed in my presentation on the case and in a number of previous posts, I’ve never been a big fan of the not-yet articulated theory of […]
