Biografisk notat
Edited by Jacques de Werra, Professor and Director of the Digital Law Center, University of Geneva, Switzerland and Irene Calboli, Regents Professor of Law, Texas A&M University, School of Law, USA and Academic Fellow, University of Geneva, Switzerland<i>‘Intellectual Property (IP) licensing agreements have been a standard transaction in the business world since the early development of IP law. The authors have done a fantastic job describing the intricacies of IP licensing law. They also provide insights into its link to competition law, Standard Essential Patents under FRAND, and data transactions. This book will be of great interest not only to lawyers and business professionals, but also to all of us in our daily lives as consumers.’</i>
- Marco M. Aleman, Assistant Director General, World Intellectual Property Organization, Switzerland,
<i>‘This comprehensive volume examines from multiple angles the rapidly changing world of IP licensing. Especially valuable are the up-to-date treatments of competition law, FRAND licensing, and the Medicines Patent Pool. Essential reading for both practitioners and policymakers.’</i>
- William Fisher, WilmerHale Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Harvard Law School, USA,
<i>‘IP lawyers and IP judges are apt to have a two-dimensional perspective view of IP law. There are just two big subjects: validity and scope of protection. Nearly all they do is about one or both of these. Yet out in the real world there is a third subject – licensing of IP rights. It is almost certainly in financial terms the biggest subject. Although of course there are sometimes disputes, licensing largely works in the background. It is akin to dark matter – there but you can’t see it. This book does what few others do – it casts light upon IP licensing.’</i>
- The Rt. Hon. Sir Robin Jacob, Faculty of Laws, University College London, UK,
<i>‘Whether used as a reference guide for best practices or read cover-to-cover, the </i>Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Licensing<i> is an excellent guide for anyone seeking to capture value from intangible assets.’</i>
- From the Foreword by Sonja London, President, Licensing Executives Society International (LESI), 2024-2025,
The Handbook combines an in-depth analysis of various specific types of IP licensing agreements (including FRAND licensing of Standard Essential Patents and data licensing) with a presentation of other topics of both dogmatic and practical relevance affecting all types of IP licensing transactions, including competition law and bankruptcy law. The Handbook goes beyond the analysis of classical substantive issues and discusses the treatment of IP licensing under international investment law and the use of commercial arbitration for solving international IP licensing disputes.
The Handbook ultimately aims to offer a scholarly contribution to the development of global or regional IP licensing laws and policies. By opening innovative transversal, comparative and policy perspectives, this Handbook will appeal to a wide audience including IP practitioners, lawyers and IP and contract law scholars globally.
