About CIIPC
The Centre for Innovation, Intellectual Property and Competition (CIIPC) has been established at NLU Delhi with the aim of supporting academic and policy oriented dialogues in the areas of innovation, IP and competition.
CIIPC focuses on interdisciplinary legal research in the areas of innovation, IP and competition, particularly using the law and economics approach. The Centre works on contemporary issues of fundamental and empirical nature, conduct legal and policy training in innovation, IP and competition and build a network of scholars in these areas.
About the Workshop
This workshop is open for legal academicians (who are working in the areas of intellectual property law and/ or competition law) and regulators working with intellectual property law and competition law issues in the Asia-Pacific region. In a world where we use extensive amounts of empirical data in research and decision making, the core objective of this workshop is to make the target group more critical consumers of data in the fields of innovation, IP and competition. By providing an overview of empirical studies and methodological issues in different areas of IP as well as competition law, this workshop intends to help the target group learn more about how to approach and use data in their own research/ decision making.
All the sessions will be handled by legal experts and economists, from across the world, who are well versed in empirical methods. The sessions are designed by taking into consideration the fact that many of the participants may not have much experience in the fields of economics, statistics and empirical methods.
