      abstract = {Public health, safety and access to reasonably priced  medicine are common policy goals of pharmaceutical  regulations. As both the context for innovation and  competitive structure change, industry actors dynamically  challenge the balance between the incentive for protection  and the achievement of those policy goals.  Considering the  arguments from the perspectives of innovation, competition  law and patent law, this book explores the difficult  question of balancing protection with access, highlighting  the difficulties in harmonization and coordination. The  contributors to this book, including academics, judges and  practitioners from Europe, the US and Japan, explore to  what extent patent strategies and life-cycle management  practices take advantage of patent laws and health-care  regulation and disrupt the necessary balance between  incentives for innovation and access to affordable medicine  and health care.  Addressing fundamental questions in the  field of pharmaceutical innovation, this book will appeal  to scholars and practitioners in intellectual property,  competition law and life sciences regulation, as well as  pharmaceutical companies and regulators.},
