EC competition law and intellectual property rights. The regulation of innovation: EC competition law in recent years has quite dramatically demonstrated its capacity to regulate the exercise of intellectual property rights (IPR). IPR specialists, however, have argued that IPR legislation and EC competition law should be viewed as of equal weight and status under EC law, or even that EC competition law should defer to IPR legislation in the interests of innovation. In this book the author argues against such an approach and demonstrates how, both according to the interpretation given to the EC Treaty and as a matter of economic policy, EC competition law must provide a set of outer limits to, and framework of rules which regulate, the exploitation and licensing of IPRs. The book provides a template of the EC competition law rules as they relate to IPRs. It shows how such a template can be applied to existing IPRs and provides a basis for its adaptation to new technologies such as telecommunications and information technology. Anderman, Steven D. |
