The Interplay Between Competition Law and Intellectual Property: An International Perspective
The Interplay Between Competition Law and Intellectual Property provides for a comparative perspective – on an international basis – on the approaches of different systems between competition law and Intellectual Property (IP). Although competition law and IP are often interwoven, until this book there has been little guidance on how they work together in practice. As the intersection between the two fields continues to grow worldwide, both in case law and in regulation, the book’s market-based approach, focusing on sectors such as pharmaceuticals, IT, telecoms, energy and agriculture in eleven of the world’s most active jurisdictions, provides a much-needed in-depth understanding of how this interplay reveals itself among the different legal systems.
