The Intellectual Property Rights & Competition Law
Note : The cases involving the interplay of competition law and IPR (intellectual property rights) have been increasing recently.
This book is an inquiry into the areas of possible conflict between the two, although the objectives of both laws are consumer welfare and prevention of market abuse. It covers theoretical, indeed economic and philosophical, approaches to competition law and IPR, comparisons between them, MRTP Act 1969, Competition Act 2002, TRIPs and competition issues, the Indian experiences and guidelines for CCI in dealing with IPR and competition cases and the issues of varying jurisdiction in which the particular concepts are presented for reliefs.
