With the powerful knowledge base derived from his long experience both at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), he illuminates the crucial relationship of antitrust and industrial property, clearly demonstrating in contrast to much received wisdom the intrinsic pro-competitive nature of intellectual property and of industrial property in particular. Using an extraordinary wealth of practical detail, and offering hundreds of pointed hypothetical and actual examples, Pires de Carvalho dispels the murkiness around such essential concepts and provisions as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e the inevitable interdependence of industrial property and antitrust law; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e abuses of patent rights and the vexed issue of patents and monopolies; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the legal implications of international exhaustion under Article 6; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the meaning of balance of rights and obligations under Article 7; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e divestiture and the fruits doctrine under Article 32; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e international cooperation in identifying antitrust violations in licensing agreements; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e protection of confidential information in court proceedings; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e protection of undisclosed test data against unfair commercial use under Article 39.3; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e and the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism in the context of undisclosed information. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOf special value in this book is the author s far-reaching analysis of the controversial emerging field of test data protection in industrial property. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The TRIPS Regime of Antitrust and Undisclosed Information provides a practical and insightful explanation of the meaning of the relevant TRIPS provisions, of how they should be reflected in national law and how courts are expected to enforce them.
