This is the second of a series of two video interviews on the competition law implications of the CJEU’s decision in Sky plc SkyKick UK Ltd.

In this Part 2, Stephanie Wickenden and Suzanne Rab of Serle Court consider litigation and dispute tactics on the part of an IP owner and whether these practices could form the basis of a competition law infringement or claim.  Important questions are raised as to the transferability of principles developed in the patent arena and the burgeoning case law on injunctive relief to other IPR.  It is also asked whether the UK’s departure from the EU may present an opportunity to develop a homegrown domestic tort of unfair competition.
