englischThis study takes up central questions concerning the relation between competition and patent law raised by the current “patent wars” in the IT sector. The author assesses the relevance of FRAND commitments under contract and competition law. He further develops criteria for determining reasonable patent license fees and discusses the circumstances under which the filing of a cease and desist order by the holder of a standard assistant patent (SEP) constitutes an abuse according to Article 102 TFEU. Finally, the German BGH’s Orange-Book-Standard decision on requirements of compulsory license defense under competition law and its application in the lower courts are criticised. The author defines the BGH’s criteria more precisely and questions their compatibility with EU competition law. The volume brings together both an English and a German version of the analysis.

The author is professor at the University of Goettingen. His primary research areas are competition and regulation law, with particular emphasis on their relevance for network industries (energy, telecommunications, internet), merger control and competition law in media contexts (intersecting with intellectual property law).
