This book results from a conference held in Singapore in September 2009

that brought together distinguished lawyers and economists to examine the

differences and similarities in the intersection between intellectual

property and competition laws in Asia. The prime focus was how best to

balance these laws to improve economic welfare. Countries in Asia have

different levels of development and experience with intellectual property

and competition laws. Japan has the longest experience and now

vigorously enforces both competition and intellectual property laws. Most

other countries in Asia have only recently introduced intellectual property

laws (due to the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights

(TRIPS) Agreement) and competition laws (sometimes due to the World

Bank, International Monetary Fund or free trade agreements). It would be

nave to think that laws, even if similar on the surface, have the same goals

or can be enforced similarly. Countries have differing degrees of acceptance

of these laws, different economic circumstances and differing legal and

political institutions. To set the scene, Judge Douglas Ginsburg, Greg Sidak,

David Teece and Bill Kovacic look at the intersection of intellectual

property and competition laws in the United States. Next are country

chapters on Asia, each jointly authored by a lawyer and an economist. The

country chapters outline the institutional background to the intersection in

each country, discuss the policy underpinnings (theoretically as well as

describing actual policy initiatives), analyse the case law in the area, and

make policy prescriptions.
