Book review: Deciphering IP Law and its Conflict and Complementarity With Competition Law
Qi Jun Kwong
SCRIPTed: A Journal of Law, Technology and Society, 23, 01, 146, 155, University of Edinburgh, 30 Jun. 2026, [Peer-reviewed]
Scientific journal, This review examines Professor Liu's monograph, which advances a market-oriented theory of IP and applies it to compulsory licensing, patent and work pools, FRAND licensing of standard-essential patents, the secondhand branded-goods market, and data and algorithms. It commends Liu's governance-oriented reform proposals and comparative methodology, notes certain limitations in the book's geographic scope and some proposals that risk duplicating existing flexibilities, and situates it against recent developments. Overall, the review recommends the work as a holistic and methodical point of departure for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners navigating the intersection of IP and competition law in Asia and beyond.
