Description

Intellectual Property Misuse: Licensing and Litigation 2nd Edition ISBN 9781641057240

Patent Misuse is an affirmative defense to claims of patent infringement or royalty obligations under a license, arising when a patentee engages in anticompetitive behavior or conduct contrary to public policy through the use of the patent. The doctrine exists to prevent the improper extension of intellectual property rights beyond their lawful limits.

Modern patent misuse sits at the intersection of intellectual property and antitrust law—drawing principles from both, yet fully belonging to neither—making it a complex and often challenging area for practitioners in either field. This book offers an updated examination of developments in the law since the first edition, providing a practical, practitioner-focused guide to understanding, analyzing, and applying the misuse doctrine in real-world scenarios.
