{"product_id":"intellectual-property-antitrust-and-cumulative-thorsten-kseberg-9781849463065","title":"Intellectual Property, Antitrust and Cumulative Innovation in the Eu and the Us","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor decades, the debate about the tension between IP and antitrust law has revolved around the question to what extent antitrust should accept that IP laws may bar competition in order to stimulate innovation. The rise of IP rights in recent years has highlighted the problem that IP may also impede innovation, if research for new technologies or the marketing of new products requires access to protected prior innovation. How this 'cumulative innovation' is actually accounted for under IP and antitrust laws in the EU and the US, and how it could alternatively be dealt with, are the central questions addressed in this unique study by lawyer and economist Thorsten K舖eberg. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking an integrated view of both IP and antitrust rules - in particular on refusals to deal based on IP - the book assesses policy levers under European and US patent, copyright and trade secrecy laws, such as the bar for and scope of protection as well as research exemptions, compulsory licensing regimes and misuse doctrines. It analyses what the allocation of tasks is and should be between these IP levers and antitrust rules, in particular the law on abuse of dominance (Article 102 TFEU) and monopolisation (Section 2 Sherman Act), while particular attention is paid to the essential facilities doctrine, including pricing methodologies for access to IP. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany recent decisions and judgments are put into a coherent analytical framework, such as IMS Health, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (in the EU), Apple (France), Orange Book Standard (Germany), Trinko, Rambus, NYMEX, eBay (US), Microsoft and IBM\/T3 (both EU and US). Further topics covered include: IP protection for software, interoperability information and databases; industry-specific tailoring of IP; antitrust innovation market analysis; and the WTO law on the IP\/antitrust interface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorsten K舖eberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849463069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849463065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.75d","brand":"Thorsten K舖eberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077632291071,"sku":"9781849463065","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_639eb46f-8525-4a38-91bd-cf1c4d9132ba.jpg?v=1685470989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intellectual-property-antitrust-and-cumulative-thorsten-kseberg-9781849463065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
