Intellectual Property, Competition and Human Rights: the past, the present and the future

Abstract

We were delighted that Professor Paul Geroski, then Chairman of the UK Competition Commission, was able to join us for our expert working group meeting in December 2004. Paul’s contribution to our proceedings was excellent. He was engaged and informed and made valuable contributions to our debate - provoking and stimulating input from the participants. It was the first time that many of us had met Paul. With his warm and engaging personality we had firm hopes that Paul would become a regular member of our group. Sadly that was not to be. As will be known to many readers, Paul died in the summer of 2005. We dedicate this collection of papers, to which he contributed, to his memory.
