Reihe: LIDC Contributions on Antitrust Law, Intellectual Property and Unfair Competition

This book

provides an unparalleled comparative analysis of two "hot topics" in

the field of antitrust and unfair competition laws with regard to a number of

key countries.

The first part

of the book examines the consistency and compatibility of transactional

resolutions of antitrust proceedings (such as settlement procedures, leniency

programmes and commitments) with due process and the fundamental rights of the

parties. This is a particularly important topic, given the widespread adoption

of these procedures by anti-trust authorities worldwide. The individual chapters

consider how the leniency, settlement and commitments procedures have developed

across a range of jurisdictions, and discuss the extent to which checks and

balances have been applied in those national procedures in order to safeguard

the fundamental rights of the parties involved. A detailed international report

identifies general trends and highlights the differences between and most interesting

features of national regulations.

The second part

of the book gathers contributions from various jurisdictions on the unfair

competition-related question of the online exhaustion of IP rights. As commerce

is increasingly moving online, the respective chapters consider the extent to

which exhaustion and similar concepts have adapted to these rapid changes. The

comprehensive and insightful international report brings together these

reflections by comparing various national positions.

The book also

includes the resolutions passed by the General Assembly of the LIDC following a

debate on each of these topics, which include proposed solutions and

recommendations. The international

League of Competition Law (LIDC) is a long-standing international association

that focuses on the interface between competition law and intellectual property

law, including unfair competition issues.
