      title = {Intellectual property and EU competition law /},
      abstract = {"The interface between intellectual property rights and  competition policy is one of the most important and  difficult areas of EU commercial law. The exploitation of  exclusive rights can conflict with competition law, which  aims to preserve competition as the driving force in  efficient markets. These conflicts have to be resolved  against the background of a complicated relationship  between EU law, national laws and international treaties  relating to intellectual property. There have been major  developments recently in this area, including the new  Technology Transfer Block Exemption, the Commission's  Guidelines on Technology Transfer, and cases such as IMS  and Microsoft concerning the circumstances in which  exploitation of intellectual property rights is an abuse of  a dominant position. This book contains a detailed  explanation of the application of EU competition law to all  types of intellectual property, including recent  developments, and the resulting regulatory framework for  the exploitation and licensing of intellectual property  rights. It has practical analysis of such issues as  technology transfer and pools, research and development,  and franchising and merchandising."--Publisher's website.},
