The fast-evolving relationship between the promotion of welfare-enhancing competition and the balanced protection of intellectual property (IP) rights has garnered significant attention from policymakers, analysts, and scholars. In an era where knowledge and innovation management and mechanisms to ensure social and economic benefits from innovation and knowledge dissemination are of utmost importance, this interest is understandable. This book delves into the positive linkage between IP and competition in various jurisdictions worldwide, providing an international and comparative perspective. It includes insightful analysis of key doctrinal and policy issues by renowned academics and practitioners from across the globe, as well as a comprehensive survey of related developments in both developed and developing economies. Furthermore, it places current policy developments at the national level within the broader context of multilateral developments, including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and other relevant forums.
