WTO Releases New Book on Competition Policy

The World Trade Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization launched a new book, "Competition Policy and Intellectual Property in Today's Global Economy," on Sept. 16, the WTO said. The book peers into "the positive linkage between intellectual property (IP) and competition in jurisdictions around the world, surveying developments and policy issues from an international and comparative perspective," the press release said. Chapters of the book, written by a variety of experts, include discussions on enforcement of competition law, standards-setting organizations and the application of competition policy with a particular focus on the WTO.
