What is Patent Pools, Competition Law, and Biotechnology about?

Exploring the relationship between competition law and technology pools, this book provides general-purpose details of the biotechnology patent pool scheme while discussing historical developments, approaches of the US Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, and the European Union Competition Commission via EU regulations.

It analyzes the modalities of forming such pools in the area of biotechnology, specifically illustrating that the formation of technology pools is possible and can be safely undertaken, and proposes a viable solution and structure.Patent pools in the biotechnology industry will pave the way towards open collaborative research, reducing patent thickets.

Most importantly, such pools will reduce the frequency of patent toll gates, ma
