CJEU

VisionSave v. Spectle: At the heart of the dispute is Spectle's innovation that allows independent lenses to snap into their frames, bypassing the European lens market monolith VisionSave's "closed-loop" ecosystem. This bold act from the industry's up and coming star will be discussed through a competition law perspective.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) serves as the ultimate arbiter of competition law within the EU, ensuring that regulations are applied consistently across all member states. By adjudicating disputes and auditing the European Commission's decisions on mergers, antitrust, and state aid, the Court maintains the legal integrity of the internal market. Ultimately, its role is to act as a safeguard for a fair and level playing field throughout the Union.

The participants will be expected to take on the role of the CJEU and to decide if this market monopoly have an obligation to allow certain acts to comply with the EU legislation or is this an act of unfair competition in the name of an innovation.
