In his special address Mr. Ansuman\nPattnaik, Additional Director General, Competition Commission of India<\/strong>\nsaid, \u201cI am delighted and honoured to be a part of the book release which\nrevolves around the ICT sector. From the regulators point of view, the content\nof the book is extremely relevant for the functioning of a healthy competition\nregime in India. In line with the theme of the book, there are two issues that\nstrike me as extremely relevant \u2013 1) Conflict between IPR regime and\ncompetition laws; 2) Big data and established policies around it. There are\nunsettled issues around competition, privacy and exclusivity and I hope the\nbook will address these issues.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his presidential address Mr.\nDhanendra Kumar Chairman, Competition Advisory Services (India) LLP, Former\nChairman, Competition Commission of India, Former Executive Director, World\nBank<\/strong> said, \u201cIt is my pleasure to be a part of the book release titled\n\u2018COMPLICATIONS AND QUANDARIES IN THE ICT SECTOR\u2019 – Standard Essential Patents\nand Competition Issues\u2019. The release of the book is extremely timely and\nrelevant in the current context. And this is more so with the recent release of\nthe report by the World Bank on the Ease of Doing Business which has put\nIndia\u2019s ranking up from 130 to 100. In the current scenario, what our country\nneeds is not just capital, but also technology and a focus on innovation. In\nterms of competition and innovation, it is extremely important that we achieve\nsome sort of balance in the architecture which is evolving and the\njurisprudence which is still in the process of evolution. The publication of\nthe book is timely and will help in clarifying many concepts.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
