Uh, welcome to another episode of In Conversation with IPR and Competition Law.
If you're listening to us for the first time, In Conversation with IPR and Competition Law is a weekly podcast available on various podcast channels like Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, and widely listened in more than ninety countries.
We host IP and antitrust lawyers, academics, regulators, and legal professionals, where we deep dive into the intricacies of the IP rights and competition law.
Today, we are discussing the glocal space, sovereignty, and strategy in international IP law, shifting the analytical lens from the traditional metaphor of globalization towards glo- glocalization.
We often assume that the global space prioritizes homogenization, but what happens when states need to protect their national regulatory autonomy? How do po- power dynamics and a local's wave resistance capabilities dictate a nation's ability to adapt to or resist globalizing waves flowing from the international IP system? So to help us navigate the fine line between territoriality and international harmonization, I am thrilled to we- welcome Dr.
Dr. Emmanuel is a senior lecturer in international IP law at the University of Edinburgh.
His expertise and interests include IP law, international IP law, and comparative intellectual property law.
Professor Emmanuel has written and published on the interface between intellectual property and other areas of international law, such as international investment law, international human rights law, and international trade law.
