This book is the long-awaited companion volume to the highly acclaimed Expanding the Boundaries of Intellectual Property, published by Oxford University Press in 2001. That book argued for strong private rights whilst at the same time calling for caution in the expansionary trend. In the period since the first volume, intellectual property protection has grown ever stronger, and this new book focuses on finding ways to cope with the fragmentation of rights and the complex framework this expansion of rights has created. At the core of the book are considerations of such initiatives as patent clearing models, standard setting organizations, licensing arrangements and informal work-arounds. It also examines the measures that seek to protect the public domain, including strategic licensing, collective rights organizations, and non-profit ventures such as creative commons and open-source publishing. Drawing on expertise from a number of disciplines including law, economics and sociology, the book is international in approach and fuses scholarly research with legal practice. It will be of great interest to scholars in intellectual property and innovation, policy-makers, and practitioners with an interest in the future of the field.

A comprehensive account of the decades-long, multiple antitrust actions against Microsoft and an assessment of the effectiveness of antitrust law in the digital age. 
For more than two decades, the U.S. Department of Justice, various states, the European Commission, and many private litigants pursued antitrust actions against the tech giant Microsoft. In investigating and prosecuting Microsoft, federal and state prosecutors were playing their traditional role of reining in a corporate power intent on eliminating competition. Seen from another perspective, however, the government's prosecution of Microsoft―in which it deployed the century-old Sherman Antitrust Act in the volatile and evolving global business environment of the digital era―was unprecedented.
In this book, two experts on competition policy offer a comprehensive account of the multiple antitrust actions against Microsoft―from beginning to end―and an assessment of the effectiveness of antitrust law in the twenty-first century. Gavil and First describe in detail the cases that the Department of Justice and the states initiated in 1998, accusing Microsoft of obstructing browser competition and perpetuating its Windows monopoly. They cover the private litigation that followed, and the European Commission cases decided in 2004 and 2009. They also consider broader issues of competition policy in the age of globalization, addressing the adequacy of today's antitrust laws, their enforcement by multiple parties around the world, and the difficulty of obtaining effective remedies―all lessons learned from the Microsoft cases.

Criminal Law

This classic casebook provides students and novice antitrust teachers the tools to deal with modern antitrust law and policy, including basic economic terms and concepts. For the advanced scholar, the casebook draws upon a rich set of cases, guidelines, scholarly commentary, briefs, and newspaper articles to motivate discussion of how policy goals are implemented by judges, practicing lawyers, and government policy makers. The book commences with foundational material spanning across antitrust claims, then proceeds to detail modern and classic approaches primarily to Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and Section 7 of the Clayton Act. The casebook concludes with important immunities and defenses. The update streamlines much of the case discussion to focus more on modern approaches, and eliminates chapters that are typically only taught in an advanced antitrust course.
