If this kind of exclusive right leads to the market monopoly of the corresponding products or services, then the knowledge monopoly also includes the consequences of this kind of market monopoly. no matter whether the right holder abuses the exclusive right or not, there are two possibilities. first, the right holder uses the exclusive right to gradually control the corresponding product market, resulting in anti-competitive consequences; second, it does not control the market and does not cause anti-competitive consequences.
