Our readers may be interested in two events next week at which Sophie Lawrance, one of Bristows’ competition partners, will be speaking on issues dear to the heart of this blog.

On Tuesday 6 December 2016, at the Competition Law in the Pharmaceutical Sector conference, Sophie will be addressing the topic of “Distribution Systems and Parallel Trade”. Then on Wednesday 7 December at the 10th Annual Standards, Patents & Competition: Law & Litigation conference, there will be a talk and workshop on “The Future of Litigating SEPs”. Sophie will be joined at that event by fellow Bristows partner and patent litigator James Boon and German patent litigator Kai Rüting of Vossius. Both events will no doubt provide useful and interesting updates on competition law in these spheres.

Places are still available for both events so get booking!
