The EPO and most other countries around the world impose less burdensome disclosure duties upon patent applicants. What is there to learn from the experience in the US? Have these tools resulted in any benefit worth considering? Yet regardless of the disclosure duties imposed upon patent applicants, a deceptive conduct before the Patent Office could lead to unwarranted exclusive rights and have a negative impact on competition. Should antitrust law intervene? Is it a case of sham litigation? This work attempts to answer those questions through a comparative analysis, examining the law and case law in the US and in the EU from both a patent and a competition law perspective and seeking a workable theory of harm. 000041672 542__ $$fCC-BY 000041672 650__ $$aIntellectual property$$xPatent law 000041672 650__ $$aSupreme Court 000041672 85641 $$uhttps://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=search&query=rid:38365$$yView this Ebook 000041672 902__ $$a41672_en 000041672 903__ $$aMunich Intellectual Property Law Center - MIPLC 000041672 904__ $$aBook 000041672 980__ $$aBIB
