The Search for EU Boundaries: IPR Exercise and Enforcement as ‘Misuse’

Anne Flanagan, Federico Ghezzi and Maria Lillà Montagnani

Chapter 6 in Intellectual Property Law, 2010 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Intellectual Property Law examines emerging intellectual property (IP) issues through the bifocal lens of both economic analysis and individual or social justice theories. This study considers restraints on IP rights both internal and external to IP law and explores rights disequilibria from the perspective of both the rationale of IP law and the interface with competition law. The expert contributors discuss the phenomenon in various contexts of patent, trade secret; and copyright, each a tool to incentivize the growth of knowledge beyond innovation and creativity.
