Abstract

This article explores the relationship between patent law and consumer protection in a context where innovation drives corporate competitiveness. It discusses how patents grant innovators market exclusivity, while consumer law imposes rules aimed at protecting consumers in professional–consumer relations. The study highlights the need to reconcile firms’ innovation and commercialization strategies with consumer protection requirements, and proposes considering consumer law constraints when developing and exploiting patented innovations.
