This dissertation is a comparative study of the approach taken to biotechnology innovation markets by competition law. / The biotechnology innovation market has recently boomed and, by its very nature, raises new and challenging issues in competition law. / Economic theorists have closely followed this phenomenon and have constructed a new theory around it. Known as the "innovation markets theory", it is thoroughly revolutionary inasmuch as it allows the competition authorities to act in markets for which products do not yet exist. It is part of the trend in economic analysis favoring a dynamic approach to the market, while continuing to respect intellectual property rights. / While this theory has become established with the US antitrust authorities, it has not as yet gained a foothold in EU law, which has integrated economic analysis teachings in its own unique way.
