      title = {Competition Law and Intellectual Property : The European  Perspective /},
      abstract = {"It has become a truism in today's world that intellectual  property rights (IPRs) have taken the place of access to  commodities in the traditional economy. Device producers  have increasingly adopted a software-centric approach,  whilst high-tech companies' revenues depend ultimately on  their ability to innovate. It thus happens that companies,  in addition to competing through new product development,  frequently use IPR-based litigation to delay competitors'  access to the market. In such conditions, antitrust law is  the obvious tool to address competition concerns. This book  focuses on the convergent roles of competition law and  regulation of IPRs in the context of the European Single  Market. The perspectives of the expert authors - judges,  academics, and lawyers who gathered in Rome in 2009 for the  Annual Conference of the Association of European  Competition Law Judges - disentangle and efficiently  recombine the diverse threads woven into this complex  pattern; the rapidly evolving technical environment, the  decentralization process inherent in the 'Community  acquis', and the lack of a single effective European  jurisdiction for IPRs. Particular attention is paid to the  latter, with its additional and unnecessary costs of  enforcement through duplicate efforts, and divergent  outcomes in multiple litigations in national jurisdictions,  making litigation strategies an exercise in forum shopping  and inducing delay strategies"--Page 4 of cover.},
