In _Antitrust Law and Intellectual Property Rights: Cases and
Materials_, Christopher R. Leslie describes how patents, copyrights,
and trademarks confer exclusionary rights on their owners, and how
firms sometimes exercise this exclusionary power in ways that exceed
the legitimate bounds of their intellectual property rights. Leslie
explains that while substantive intellectual property law defines the
scope of the exclusionary rights, antitrust law often provides the
most important consequences when owners of intellectual property
misuse their rights in a way that harms consumers or illegitimately
excludes competitors. Antitrust law defines the limits of what
intellectual property owners can do with their IP rights. In this
book, Leslie explores what conduct firms can and cannot engage in
while acquiring and exploiting their intellectual property rights, and
surveys those aspects of antitrust law that are necessary for both
antitrust practitioners and intellectual property attorneys to
understand. This book is ideal for an advanced antitrust course in a
JD program. In addition to building on basic antitrust concepts, it
fills in a gap that is often missing in basic antitrust courses yet
critical for an intellectual property lawyer: the intersection of
intellectual property and antitrust law. The relationship between
intellectual property and antitrust is particularly valuable as an
increasing number of law schools offer specializations and LLMs in
intellectual property. This book also provides meaningful material for
both undergraduate and graduate business schools programs because it
explains how antitrust law limits the marshalling of intellectual
property rights.
