Due to disagreement between policymakers and innovation
economists, antitrust agencies have been rather confused over when and how to
use competition law in reference to research and development (R&D) joint
ventures and collaborations. This important book dissects the antitrust
treatment, in the USA and under EU law, of joint R&D ventures from the
1970s to the present day. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the
modifications and amendments made to legal acts and guidelines. It also looks
at the slow shift in the scant case law detected both under the antitrust laws
of the USA and the competition rules of the EU. Björn Lundqvist demonstrates
that the prevailing antitrust policies towards R&D collaborations are very
similar in the USA and the EU, and that they both mirror a lenient attitude
towards collaboration between competitors. Nonetheless, ultimately, the book
shows that a more stringent attitude from the antitrust establishment can be
discerned, and that the concept of the ‘innovation market’ could possibly soon
have a revival. This fascinating book caters to both researchers and
practitioners in competition law and economics. The easy-to-follow chart and
boxes will be particularly useful for practitioners when setting up R&D
joint ventures.
