Using the example of research tools in biopharmaceutical research
and innovation, this book examines the complexities of the
relationship between two fundamental areas of law and policy -
intellectual property rights and competition law. It addresses a
question that is certain to become paramount in other industries
also: how to strike the balance between initial and follow-on
innovation so as to ensure that access to 'essential' research
tools (or other fundamental elements to follow-on innovation) is
not impeded. The book concludes by suggesting how competition law
could be used to complement the patent balance. Competition Law and
Patents caters for various groups ranging from those with a general
interest in competition law, patent law and/or biopharmaceuticals,
to students who want to understand how competition and intellectual
property work in practice (or to understand the interface between
the two policies), and from practitioners and policymakers to
people within the biopharmaceutical industry itself.
