Abstract

Examines the effect of Valve v Commission (T-172/21, ECJ) on the relationship between intellectual property and EU competition law, in particular whether the Court’s case law conflicts with the territorial character of intellectual property rights and whether the decision relies excessively on the probabilistic nature of intellectual property rights. Considers the complementarity of intellectual property law and competition law.
