IP and Antitrust law have always been closely related. However, it is important to distinguish that IP law allocates and protects intellectual property rights, while Antitrust Law refers to the use of such rights.
The purpose of this Act is to protect the process of free competition, by preventing and eliminating monopolies, monopolistic practices and other restrictions to the efficient functioning of markets for goods and services.
