Intellectual Property and the Right to Repair

ATTENTION : Cette activité se déroulera en FRANÇAIS / This activity will be conducted in FRENCH.

The Right to Repair remains an important issue, and a number of initiatives have been put in place at various levels all over the world. Whether it’s a question of access to specialized tools by suppliers, recommendations by government authorities or more specific bills, the development of this right will have a direct impact on the entire production and consumption chain. However, both the advent of this right and its implementation raise certain issues (e.g. copyright, patents, guarantees, contractual obligations, etc.), particularly in terms of the relationship between suppliers and their customers.

This presentation aims to provide an overview of initiatives related to the Right to Repair in order help the audience gain an initial understanding of this subject.
