Timo Minssen - Invited speaker
CeBIL Director, Professor Timo Minssen, alongside CeBIL's visiting professor Dan Burke, Chancellor's Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine and Postdoctoral Fellow Olga Kokoulina from CIIR presented at Bech Bruun, on the 10th of May, in a seminar on Algorithmic Legal Metrics & Digital Competition. The event was organised in collaboration with Life Science Law DK.
Following the European Commission’s inquiry into the pharmaceutical sector in 2009, competition law enforcement in this area has been a high priority across the EU. In 2009-2017, European competition authorities investigated more than 100 cases, while over 20 cases of possible antitrust infringements are currently being examined. This relentless focus on combating anticompetitive practices underscores the importance of ensuring access to affordable medicine and innovation in the field as a matter of the EU policy. Setting precedents, competition enforcement not only clarifies the application of EU competition law to contentious issues but also promotes companies’ compliance and pro-active approach. Against this background, the ongoing digitalization poses new challenges to both enforcers and market players.Logo: Life Science Law DK
