      abstract = {Intellectual property is taking a more and more central  position in the global economy, and this is true not only  in highly developed economies, but also in emerging ones.  China and India, to take just two examples, are moving  rapidly up the value chain and now have world-class  technology companies for which intellectual property  protection is crucial. As the significance of intellectual  property grows, so too does the relationship between  intellectual property and antitrust law. Antitrust law  constrains the exercise of intellectual property rights in  certain circumstances, and both owners and users of  intellectual property rights need to know how the two  bodies of law interact and where antitrust draws lines for  intellectual property. Intellectual property practitioners  need to look beyond intellectual property laws themselves  to understand the antitrust limits on the free exercise of  rights. The task of this book is, with respect to key  jurisdictions globally, to provide an annual concrete and  practical overview of developments on the relationship  between antitrust and intellectual property. This third  edition provides an update on recent developments, as well  as an overview of the overall existing lay of the land  regarding the relationship between the two bodies of law.  Key topics covered in this and future editions include the  constraints imposed by antitrust on licensing, the  circumstances under which a refusal to license intellectual  property rights can be unlawful, the imposition of  antitrust obligations on owners of standard-essential  patents, the application of antitrust law to cross-border  e-commerce, the growing importance of intellectual property  issues in merger cases and the intense disputes regarding  the application of antitrust law to patent settlements in  the pharmaceutical industry.},
