      abstract = {"This book uses the principles and tools of law and  economics to examine the impact of regulation on the  strategies of firms engaged in innovation. Specifically,  the publication examines several key issues. First, various  economic aspects of patent rights, a state-created form of  market exclusivity, is analysed. Second, the competitive  exploitation of the patent rights in the form of licensing,  is evaluated from the perspective of antitrust and  competition law. Finally, the use of collaborative research  and development arrangements as a means for reducing the  costs of and difficulties that are associated with new  product development is reviewed, also by reference to the  attitudes of antitrust and competition regulators. In each  case, reference is made not only to judicial decisions, but  also to economic theory and the actual practices of firms  in the market place. The book takes a comparative approach,  reviewing past and current regulatory practices in the  United States and in the European Community. In particular,  the monograph contrasts and compares recent proposed  changes in both the United States and the EC relating to  the review of intellectual property licensing arrangements  under antitrust and competition law. The book also examines  how the United States and the EC have each dealt with  research and development joint ventures and with other  pre-distribution collaborative arrangements, including the  National Cooperative Research and Production Act in the  United States and the EC's block exemption for research and  development arrangements. The publication concludes with  suggestions and recommendations as to areas of further  study, including the use of alternative regulatory schemes  to provide ongoing incentives for innovation"--Unedited  summary from book cover.},
