Technology Transfer and the New EU Competition Rules is a refreshing, invigorating from first principles explanation of how IP licensing agreements should be analysed for compliance with the new EU competition law regime. The modernized competition law regime is only new in the sense that it has been in existence for less than three years, but the authors can be forgiven this slightly liberal use of the word, given that their aim throughout the book is very obviously to shake intellectual property and competition lawyers out of the old comfortable, rigid, formulaic approach to IP, and into a world where a much more fluid and arguably sophisticated approach is required.
