The contríbution deals with the relation of intellectual property rights to competition law. Support of innovation is based on creating an innovator's monopoly which can harm economic competition. Knowledge-based high-tech economy calls for such a monopolization. Some basic differences between intellectual property and real property and some more frequent kinds of misusing intellectual property rights are introduced. The author joins the opinion that the conflict between protection of innovations and protection of competition is to be solved by providing legal monopoly power, but only within the defined limited scope of the right.
