Beskrivning

Microsoft on Trial analyses the antitrust cases that have involved Microsoft on both sides of the Atlantic and offers a thorough and timely discussion on the regulation of unilateral behaviour in a topical sector.This fascinating and highly relevant book facilitates discussion on the difficult technical, legal and economic issues with respect to innovation, competition and welfare raised, through the span of more than a decade, by the US and EC Microsoft antitrust cases. It assesses their impact on the evolution of European and US laws on competition and intellectual property in the IT sector and beyond. The book, which adopts a multidisciplinary approach (IT, law, economics), benefits from the valuable insights of 20 contributors including those that were directly involved in the EC case. Practitioners, advanced postgraduates and academics will find this unique book an essential resource.

Recensioner i media

‘I would highly recommend this book to any practitioner, academic, or postgraduate student interested in either the specifics of the EU and US Microsoft cases or more generally in the current scope of unilateral conduct laws on both sides of the Atlantic. It is refreshingly easy to navigate, thanks to an excellent index and table of cases and legislation, no mean feat in light of the fact that the book is a collection of 14 independent essays. The editor, Luca Rubini, deserves particular praise for this achievement. The editor also provides an invaluable multi-disciplinary approach to the various issues raised by the increasing interaction of competition law and intellectual property law in the information technology sector and beyond.’
