Abstract

The article analyses Article 2 of the Polish Act on Competition and Consumer Protection 2007 as it regulates the intersection between Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and antitrust in Poland. Discussed here is the evolution of national legislation dealing with this issue as well as the approach to it presented by different commentators. The author presents also his own interpretation of Article 2 critically evaluating its content and considering the necessity of its very existence. It is ultimately concluded that there is no need for a normative regulation of the IPR/antitrust interface in the Polish Competition Act 2007 and that it is appropriate to repeal its current Article 2.
