Synopsis

Explore how federal law treats intellectual property and competition in this detailed congressional hearing on the Intellectual Property Antitrust Protection Act of 1995.

This edition presents the testimony, opening statements, and bill text that frame the debate on whether IP rights automatically confer market power and how courts should apply antitrust analysis to licensing and tying in tech markets.

The material centers on a proposed change to antitrust policy and analyzes real-world examples considered by lawmakers. Readers will see arguments for and against removing a presumption that patents or copyrights alone create market power, along with the legislative text and practical implications for startups, established firms, and the courts.

• Key terms and definitions used in antitrust and IP law.
• Arguments on why market power should be proven, not assumed, in IP contexts.
• Overview of testimonies and concerns raised during the hearing.
• Context for the statutory language behind H.R. 2674 and its potential impact.

Ideal for readers of law and policy books who want a clear view of how intellectual property rights interact with competition law in practice.
