Technology Transfer and the EU Competition Rules

  • Categories: Law

This work examines the revised Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation and its accompanying guidelines. The new edition has been fully updated to analyze the changes that the new Guidelines have introduced to existing competition laws, including bilateral licensing. The text reflects on the application of the Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation since it was brought into force in 2004, and presents a number of significant developments and judgements in the application of Article 102 to technology licensing. The book includes a chapter on the application of Article 102 to patent agreements and the "patent wars." The new cases analyzed include the "pay for delay" cases such as Lundbeck and the cases where owners of Standard Essential Patents have attempted to obtain a higher than FRAND return by various means. Written by two leading authorities in the field, the work offers a timely examination of the revised EU competition law regime for intellectual property licensing.

The new Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation (in force from May 1, 2004) signals a profound change in the nature of the regulatory framework for technology licensing under EU competition law. This book examines the new Regulation in detail, placing it in the wider context of: (i) the modernisation reforms of EC competition law; and (ii) the treatment of IP rights over technology more generally. The book also considers the approach to assessment of IP issues set out in the Guidelines that accompany the Regulation; the authors discuss their legal basis and, where appropriate, criticise the approach taken by the Guidelines where the legal basis is unsure.

Mechanisms to Enable Follow-On Innovation

  • Categories: Law

The patent system is based on "one-patent-per-product" presumption and therefore fails to sustain complex follow-on innovations that contain a number of patents. The book explains that follow-on innovations may be subject to market failures such as hold-ups and excessive royalties. For decades, scholars have debated whether the market problems can be solved with voluntary licensing i.e., open innovation, or with compulsory liability rules. The book concludes that neither approach is sufficient. On the one hand, incentives to engage in open innovation practices involving patents are insufficient. On the other hand, the existing compulsory liability rules in patent and competition law are not ...
