| Tiivistelmä: | This paper discusses positive competition and the proper regulation of platform technologies. The author argue that in spite of Microsoft's oppportunistic exploitation of its proprietary code, policy makers should resist the temptation to mandate an open source code model. Vigilant anti-trust enforcement is a preferable alternative. However, courts must refrain from using anti-trust law to favour small innovators or to constrain the economic protections inherent in intellectual property rights, since those rights are still needed to encourage innovation. Preservation of robust intellectual property rights, deft application of antitrust statutes, and principled competition represent the best perscription for social wealth in the new economy. |
