Turner's book is an invaluable tool for practitioners and in-house counsel advising on issues arising from such interaction. It is written by a lawyer for lawyers.

Paul R. Hughes, European Competition Law Review There is no doubt that this book provides a very useful and comprehensive treatment of intellectual property and EU competition law. It is forensically accurate and is at its strongest when addressing normative measures such as the Technology Transfer Block Exemption Regulation and when considering issues in a commercial context.

Susan Singleton, European Intellectual Property Review Those who bought the first edition would be well advised to replace it with the latest edition, and those who do not have the book, whether they be IP or competition lawyers or simply lawyers whose practice from time to time involves issues such as restrictions in licences, mergers/concentrations (which are also covered in this work), exhaustion of rights, and internet selling will find the book very useful indeed.
