Competition Law:
It is accepted that once an intellectual property right is exploited by means of a licence or some equivalent consensual agreement or arrangement, the effect on trade is properly a matter for competition law. Within the European Union, this is so whether the attack is upon an agreement or a concerted practice (art 101) or goes to the acquisition and exercise of market power (art.102). At both the national and international level, the general issue is likewise conceded.
In light of the above, examine how competition law has regulated intellectual property rights.
Whilst the course is Intellectual Property Law, this order has to do with Competition Law also. The work needs to analyse the law and cases and outline how competition law has regulated intellectual property rights. So the impact of Competition Law on Intellectual Property Law.
The focus on the assignment should be on the impact of Competition Law on Intellectual Property Law within the EU/UK framework.
