What is IP Roundtable?

I.P. Roundtable
Hosted by the MIPLC Alumni Association — All MIPLC Students, Alumni & Friends are Welcome!!

The IP Roundtable dinners, hosted by the MIPLC Alumni Association, take place around an actual round table — in the "Kutschenstube" at the Spatenhaus restaurant (opposite the plaza at the Bavarian State Opera, near the corner of Maximillianstraße and Rezidenzstraße), just a few minutes walk from MIPLC. The address is: Spatenhaus an der Oper, Rezidenzstraße 12, München 80333. When you get there, just ask for the Kutschenstube, which has been reserved just for us. The appetizers for our conversations include good food and drink — but, most of all, the good company of MIPLC friends!

The format of our IP Roundtable dinners is that we start at 6.00pm by relaxing together with drinks, dinner (well, at least the first course!) and informal chatting. After a short while the leader for the evening commences the topical discussion with an informal and short (15 minutes) "appetizer" talk to get our minds focused on the chosen theme. We then continue with a round-table conversation, centered on the theme of the evening, and continue for as long as we are still enjoying the conversation (nourished by additional beverages and victuals, if necessary). While our conversations are intended to be intellectually stimulating, they are very informal and convivial ... and usually also quite fun.

Our previous IP Roundtable conversations have addressed the following topics:

-The Patent Troll - Friend or Foe? Kelvin Willoughby
-"It's a rich man's world! ... but what about intellectual property?" Mrinalini Kochupillai
- What is the optimum term for copyright and patents? Arguments from economics (Zecharias Fassil Berhe)
- Intellectual property and culture (Mario Cisneros)
- Traditional Knowledge and Intellectual Property (Pallavi Kondapalli)
- The case against intellectual property (Meital Werner)
- Patents as monopolies: Problems and solutions (Heeseob Nam)
- When should the exception become the rule?
Copyright, competition and consumers in the world of digital entertainment (Kelvin Willoughby)
- The emergence of TRIPs-Plus bilateral agreements (Sergio Velasquez)
- The politics of TRIPs and the Doha declarations (Heeseob Nam)
