This chapter summarizes the main arguments of the book and repeats the central empirical findings. Following a brief discussion of the data sources used to support the varied arguments, this chapter considers the lessons for theory and its strong comparative institutionalist perspective. Policy implications of the book are also considered in this chapter, and the link between institutional and policy reform and innovation outcomes is again emphasized. This chapter considers also the limitations of the book, and the ways the book’s arguments and analysis might be constructively challenged/amended in the future. There are a number of issues not explicitly addressed in the book because of its domestic institutionalist focus, including international treaties on intellectual property rights. The chapter concludes with some suggestions on how these future research agendas might be integrated with existing literature.

The Relationship

The relationship between competition policy and intellectual property has been largely analyzed by the specialized literature. Nonetheless, the competitive impact of the enforcement of intellectual property rights in aftermarkets is still a challenging field of study. This article discusses the interface between intellectual property and competition in light of a case concerning the Brazilian automobile aftermarket.

Substantial Interest

South Korea is squarely involved in the global debates regarding the intersection between standard essential patents (SEPs) and competition law, as it is home to an active competition agency and major technology firms such as Samsung and LG that have rapidly advanced from being almost pure implementers/licensees to simultaneously becoming innovators/licensors in the information technology sector. The landmark case between Samsung and Apple was a major milestone in terms of the application of competition law to the exercise of patent rights by an SEP holder, in particular whether a filing of an injunction claim based on an SEP violated the law as an abuse of intellectual property rights. The Korea Fair Trade Commission has also shown substantial interest and activity in this area, as represented by its recent revisions of its intellectual property rights related guidelines, and with the Commission’s latest decision at the end of 2016 against Qualcomm, the debate around the exercise of SEPs is sure to be more vigorous than ever, in addition to expanding to new issues and dimensions.
