EU Competition Law: An Analytical Guide to the Leading Cases (Third Edition)

Designed as a working tool for study and practice, this is the enlarged and updated third edition of a highly practical guide to the leading cases of European competition law. The book focuses primarily on Article 101 TFEU (Ex Article 81 EC), Article 102 TFEU (Ex Article 82 EC), and the European Merger Regulation. In addition, it explores the public and private enforcement of competition law, the intersection between intellectual property rights and competition law, and the application of competition law to State action. Each chapter begins with an introduction that outlines the relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines for each of the topics, setting the analytical foundations for the case entries. Within this framework, cases are reviewed in summary form, accompanied by analysis and commentary.
