Summary:

Adopting a European perspective, this book seeks to offer a critical appraisal of the relationship between intellectual property law and competition law. It highlights the deficiencies in studying each of these areas of law independently, and argues for a more holistic approach, insisting that it is more useful to consider them as interdependent.
