DESCRIPTION:Each summer\, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Com
 parative Law organizes a series of seminars to promote research of student
 s from 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and elsewhere. Attendance is open to all. For more informati
 on\, email centre.crepeau [at] mcgill.ca.\n\nSpeaker: Ryan Yevcak (91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 
 University)\n\nRecent case law in competition law involving selective dist
 ribution systems has tended to follow the increased protections afforded t
 o manufacturers in intellectual property law. As a result\, I explore the 
 idea of the law luxuriating itself in response to the demands of the consu
 mer goods industry. I argue that intellectual property has influenced the 
 European Union’s understanding and reasoning of competition law\, specific
 ally that of selective distribution systems and vertical agreements.\n\nIn
  interpreting justifications for luxury goods\, beyond the connections mad
 e with trade mark law and authors’ rights\, I contend that the concept of 
 goodwill\, as understood in the tort of passing off\, has influenced the C
 ourt of Justice of the European Union’s judicial reasoning in Coty Germany
  GmbH v Parfümerie Akzente to justify restricted measures within vertical 
 agreements. I contend that by interpreting the notion of goodwill\, the Co
 urt of Justice of the European Union would be better able to formulate an 
 adaptable model to protect brand image without binding this protection to 
 property rights. Reconstituting competition law to recognise the value of 
 goodwill would reduce the reliance on restrictive property measures and th
 e need for registering said property while granting rights for authors/cre
 ators and providing legal remedies over their created goods. \n
