Edward Elgar Publishing Intellectual Property and Competition (Critical Concepts in Intellectual Property Law series)

The intersection of the intellectual property and competition laws presents uniquely complicated legal issues. The entries, from leading judges, government officials, academics, and economists, explore history, the 'new economy', and frameworks to resolve the tension between the laws. They also address refusals to license, patent pools, innovation markets, standard setting organizations, and pharmaceutical patent settlements. Review ‘. . . Carrier has provided intellectual property and competition scholars and practitioners with an invaluable resource.’ -- Abbe E.L. Brown, World Competition ‘. . . this book is a wonderful reference tool for anyone who practices in or is interested in studying the intersection between intellectual property and competition, and how those areas have evolved together over the years.’ -- Alicia Brillon, American Reference Books Annual 2012 ‘. . . the real benefit of Intellectual Property and Competition is the impression it leaves on the reader as a single volume. . . Commentators, economists, academics and the judiciary all have their say in this collection and it is apparent that most are in favour of some form of reform.’ -- Mark Daniels, European Intellectual Property Review ‘The editor has chosen his contributors , and the contributions, with the skilled eye of the connoisseur, to the benefit of the serious student of this tricky topic.’ -- IPKAT About the Author Edited by Michael A.
