To what extent is basic research affected by changes in market demand for pharmaceuticals? In 2003, insurance coverage in the U.S. was substantially expanded under Medicare Part D. This caused a significant increase in demand for drugs treating diseases
more prevalent among the elderly. The authors ask whether this has had an impact on basic research. For this purpose, they differentiate between various
actors such as universities and companies as well as the nature and market orientation of the research.

The question of how access to data should be responsibly managed is of crucial importance in the digital age. The open-access book “Data Access, Consumer Interests and Public Welfare”
strives to device new approaches to future data access rules. The contributions of renowned authors first shed light on the justification for such rules
from an economic and more general policy perspective. Then, building on the constitutional foundations and existing access regimes, they explore the potential
of various fields of law as a basis for the future legal framework. The book also addresses the need to coordinate data access rules with intellectual
property rights and potential data access rights of the users of connected devices and of governments to privately held data.

With a special issue IIC honors Jochen Pagenberg on his 80th birthday. As a longtime co-editor, the patent law specialist decisively influenced the renowned journal for intellectual property and competition law, which was founded in 1970. After completing
his law studies, Jochen Pagenberg became a staff member of today’s Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. Throughout his later career as
co-founder of the law firm Bardehle Pagenberg and as an expert in various committees he continued to maintain links with the academic world – not only
as co-editor of IIC but also as a lecturer and author.
