Disruptive innovations raise questions for competition law enforcement, for instance when considering mergers between disruptive innovators and incumbents, or exclusionary conduct by incumbents against innovators. Incumbents not only have an incentive to destroy an innovation by merger or exclusion, but might also inadvertently kill it through acquisition.

How will Brexit affect the digital landscape of the United KingdomJeremiah Wakamu
With the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union, it is likely that the laws guiding intellectual property will change. The paper will hypothesize that by Britain leaving the European Union, there will be far-reaching repercussions for European science and innovation. To complete this paper, a literature review will be conducted. The main research question will be; what does the departure of Britain, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England from the European Union affect innovators, startups and UK based accelerators.
This report has three main sections namely introduction, literature review, and conclusion. At the introduction section, is where the objectives, scope and the method of the discussion are stated. It is also here where the contextualization of the study is given. At the literature review section, the reality of WIPO is discussed, and it’s potential. Additionally, a review of World Trade Organization is also provided. Lastly, the decision of Britain to leave the European Union has been discussed in the context of WIPO AND WTO trading and the consequences it has in developing laws post exit. At the conclusion section, the concluding statements are made that will ensure that Britain achieves its innovation and technological development post-Brexit.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

EU Public Procurement Policy and
the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Pushing and Pulling as One?
Prof Albert Sanchez-Graells
YEL Annual Conference 2020
Paris, 10 January 2020
2. bristol.ac.uk
Agenda
To critically assess the tensions in the
EU’s role as an ‘Industrial and Regulatory
State’ in the eve of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution in the area of public
procurement law and policy
Focus on procurement of innovation and
procurement digitalisation
3. bristol.ac.uk
Procurement: what’s new?
2011-2014 revision of rules
2014 EU Public Procurement Package
2017 Strategy ‘Making procurement work in
and for Europe’
Unclear if any changes under new
Commission (seemingly, not)
4. bristol.ac.uk
Placing the discussion
Main regulatory ‘response’ curiously pre-dates mainstreaming of
digital technologies
Broadly suitable framework due to flexibility and (green)
innovation-friendliness, as well as transition to eProcurement
Current focus on industrial approach and marginal regulatory
adaptations
6. bristol.ac.uk
Innovation procurement as
an (EU) protectionist pull
Using buying power as an innovation pull
– as a rare exception from the internal
market’s general repulsion for (domestic)
industrial policy by Member States
Seeking to protect EU (innovation)
industry from external non-reciprocal
competition—via the (marred?) IPI
7. bristol.ac.uk
Meanwhile, in the MS
Really large differences
in uptake of innovation
procurement in the
digital economy
Under-researched intra-
EU implications of
industrial policy
PWC (2019) 4, Table 1.
9. bristol.ac.uk
Pushing for procurement
digitalisation
Digitalisation beyond eProcurement (?)
• Limited mandatory requirements
• Limited precision of potentiality
Procurement & PSI / Open Data Directive
• No data, no fun / eForms for end 2022
• No common understanding of the ‘what’
and ‘why’ of data collection / publication
• B2G data sharing (still) challenging
10. bristol.ac.uk
Meanwhile, in the MS
Significant delays in the implementation of eProcurement + policy
exhaustion
Significant divergences in the protection of commercially-sensitive
information, including under FOI rules
There is space for a more robust regulatory intervention (unlikely?)
12. bristol.ac.uk
Push-pull tensions
Most tensions are vertical, both in industrial
and in regulatory interventions
Aggressive industrial approach re innovation
not necessarily supported at MS level
More timid regulatory approach re
digitalization also generates difficulties and
limits eg pan-EU AI-related experimentation
13. bristol.ac.uk
Same old, same old?
Nothing too distinctive about this except,
perhaps, increased ‘mercantilism’ at EU level
(especially re Industrial State interventions)
Unclear whether AI Agenda (or Green Deal?)
can be significant catalysts – what role for
uncertainty in (EU) Regulatory State?
