Abstract

Konkurenčno pravo je del prava Skupnosti, ki vedno bolj pridobiva na pomenu. Posebej pomemben je stik s pravicami intelektualne lastnine, o čemer je teklo že veliko razprav. Postavlja se namreč vprašanje, ali so pravice intelektualne lastnine v stalnem konfliktu s konkurenčnim pravom ali pa morda ti dve področji predstavljata samo različno pot do istega cilja. Načeloma je namreč sprejeto, da področje pravic intelektualne lastnine in področje konkurenčnega prava nimata nasprotujočih si ciljev, ampak ravno nasprotno — cilj obeh je zviševanje potrošnikove blaginje. V luči prava Skupnosti moramo omenjeni področji opazovati predvsem skozi pravila Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, posebej pa moramo izpostaviti člena 81 in 82, oziroma danes po sprejemu Lizbonske pogodbe oziroma Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije člena 101. in 102. te Pogodbe. Licenciranje pravic intelektualne lastnine načeloma odpira trg in na trg prinaša nove konkurente, ampak samo v kolikor ta licenčni sporazum ne vsebuje določb in omejitev, ki negativno vplivajo na trgovino med državami članicami in s tem omejujejo konkurenco v luči člena 101 Pogodbe. V kolikor pa licenčni sporazum vsebuje določeno omejitev, ki nasprotuje 1. odstavku člena 101 PDEU, pa se ob izpolnjevanju določenih pogojev lahko opraviči v okviru skupinske izjeme na podlagi sprejetih uredb oziroma na podlagi 3. odstavka istega člena, v kolikor pogojem za skupinsko izjemo ni zadoščeno. Z naslednjim pomembnim členom Pogodbe, torej s členom 102, pa je prepovedana zloraba prevladujočega položaja. Dejstvo je, da zgolj imetništvo neke pravice intelektualne lastnine še ne bo pomenilo zlorabe prevladujočega položaja, problem nastane predvsem v primeru, ko se ta pravica začne uporabljati na takšen način, da ima sama uporaba za posledico omejevanje konkurence na trgu Skupnosti. Razmerje med konkurenčnim pravom Skupnosti in pravicami intelektualne lastnine lahko najboljše opazujemo skozi sodno prakso, ki se je sicer skozi leta predvsem zaradi tehnološkega razvoja zelo spreminjala. Kljub temu pa daje nek okvir, znotraj katerega lahko realno presodimo medsebojni vpliv obravnavanih področij.

Secondary title: The Relationship Between Competition Law of the European Community and Intellecutal Property Rights
Secondary abstract: Competition law is a part of the European Comunity law which is becoming more and more important. Of special importance is also its connection to the intellectual property rights, which has been much debated. The issue is whether intellectual property rights and competition law are fundamentally in conflict or whether they are different routes the same goals. It is generally accepted at the present that intellectual property rights and competition law do not have conflicting aims but that, in contrary, both pursue the promotion of conumer welfare. In respet of EC law there is a need to look at both of this areas through the rules of the European Community Treaty, and it is also important to emphasise articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty, or today as the the Treaty of Lisbon has come into force, articles 101 and 102 of this Treaty. Licencing opens up markets and brings new cometitors on to the market, but only if a licencing agreement in this case does not have a negative effect on the trade between the member states and if doesn't restrict the competition in the light of the Article 101 of the Treaty. But however, if a licencing agreement contains a certain provision that oposes the Article 101 (1) of the Treaty, an exemption can be provided by block exemptions, contained in some of the regulations of the EC, or by the Article 101 (3) of the Treaty if the exemption under the regulation is not possible. The next Article of the Treaty which is also important, that is Article 102, prohibits the abuse of a dominant position. It is a fact that just owning an intellectual property right doesn't mean that an abuse of a dominant position exists, a problem arises especially when someone starts to use this right in a way that it restricts the competition within the market of the EC. The relationship between competition law of the European Community and intellectual property rights can be perfectly seen through the case law, which has actually changed over the last years because of the technological development and inovations. Nevertheless it makes a perfect frame for the realistic view on the effect between the areas.
