Description

On this Ropes & Gray podcast, licensing and collaboration partner Hannah England and antitrust partner Lisa Kaltenbrunner discuss how EU antitrust rules impact non-competes and other exclusivity provisions in collaboration agreements, license agreements, and asset acquisitions. They explain why these rules apply even to U.S. companies, outline the key differences between collaboration and license agreements, and highlight the risks of non-compliance, such as unenforceability and regulatory scrutiny. The conversation offers practical guidance on structuring non-compete clauses to align with EU competition law.
