Terrorist Competition Law
… is the reaction that I triggered from a participant at the APRAM’s conference yesterday. See my presentation below. A paper on trademarks and competition law is in the making.
The APRAM is a famous French association that gathers practitioners active in trademarks and designs law.
And now a question: will the French APRAM urge international colleagues to start bombing raids over the Institute for European Legal Studies?
See also Lunney, G., ‘Trademark Monopolies’, Emory Law Journal Vol. 48 (1999), p. 367, where the author considers the recent progress of property-based approach in legislation and case-law as harmful from the competition policy point of view as it enables the proprietors of well-known trade marks to gain monopoly rent without any real benefits to consumers.
