The Enforcement of Patents

This edited volume explores the economics of patent enforcement in Asia and is the result of a conference jointly organized in Taipei in 2010 by the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law and the Institutum Iurisprudentiae Academia Sinica. Following overview chapters on the economic approach to patent enforcement and its reception in Asia, the volume includes chapters reporting on the economics of patent enforcement in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, and Singapore. Comparative chapters examining American and European issues are also included. In order to provide a diversity of perspectives, each chapter is accompanied by commentary solicited from scholars, judges, and intellectual property practitioners.
