o Competition law in the US and Europe: Does it conflict?
o FRAND: What does it mean?
o Royalty free licensing
o Disclosure of licensing terms
o Pool formation: Should it be encouraged?
o Impact of policy changes
o Standards-related patent litigation across the globe
o Developments with regard to the unified patent litigation system for Europe
o Non-practising entities
