| Tartalmi kivonat: | Monopolization is the practice of acquiring or maintaining exclusive control over a market. It is illegal under both intellectual property law and competition law. Despite their shared aim of addressing monopolies, these two legal frameworks approach the issue differently, primarily concerning the delicate balance of the monopoly privilege. Intellectual property law grants inventors and creators exclusive rights to their inventions and creations for a limited period of time. These exclusive rights are intended to promote innovation by giving inventors and creators a financial incentive to create new products and ideas. However, these rights can inadvertently lead to monopolies, potentially harming consumers through reduced competition and inflated prices. Competition law, on the other hand, is designed to promote competition and protect consumers from the harmful effects of monopolies. While it prohibits various anti-competitive practices, it also acknowledges that certain monopolies can be essential for driving innovation and economic growth. This paper discusses the divergent perspectives on monopolization within the realms of intellectual property law and competition law. It argues for a harmonious coexistence of these legal domains to encourage both innovation and competition. Furthermore, it addresses the challenges inherent in balancing these two areas of law, especially in the context of the digital age. |
