United Kingdom. 330 $aThis publication provides an unparalleled comparative analysis of two "hot topics" in the field of antitrust and unfair competition laws with regard to a number of key countries. The first part of the book examines whether small and middle-sized businesses could or should be subject to specific competition rules. These businesses account for 99% of the enterprises in Europe and the United States, making this a particularly important topic. The papers consider both the public and private enforcement rules across a range of jurisdictions, and a detailed international report, prepared by Michele Carpagnano, identifies general trends and highlights differences and the most interesting features of national regulations. The second part of the book gathers contributions from various jurisdictions on the unfair competition question of whether a company could or should be protected against the use of their trademark, distinctive signs and other components of their image and identity on the part of non-competing companies. The papers focus on the fundamental issue of the competitive relationship as a condition of protection under unfair competition acts, and the connection to intellectual property protection. The comprehensive and insightful international report, prepared by Martine Karsenty-Ricard, brings together these reflections by comparing various national positions.    The book also includes the resolutions passed by the General Assembly of the LIDC following a debate on each of these topics, which include proposed solutions and recommendations. The International League of Competition Law (LIDC) is a long-standing international association that focuses on the interface between competition law and intellectual property law, including unfair competition issues. 410 0$aLIDC Contributions on Antitrust Law, Intellectual Property and Unfair Competition,$x2199-7438 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade regulation 606 $aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation 606 $aMass media$xLaw and legislation 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aComparative law 606 $aLaw$xEurope 606 $aCommercial law 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law 606 $aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property 606 $aIndustrial Organization 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aEuropean Law 606 $aCommercial Law 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade regulation. 615 0$aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aMass media$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aLaw$xEurope. 615 0$aCommercial law. 615 14$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aCommercial Law. 676 $a338.6 676 $a343.0721 702 $aKėllezi$b Pranvera$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKilpatrick$b Bruce$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKobel$b Pierre$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484484303321 996 $aAntitrust for Small and Middle Size Undertakings and Image Protection from Non-Competitors$92852458 997 $aUNINA
