(Updated in part 02-8-6). This 9,000-word thesis 1) describes the political
pressures within the U. S. and the EC towards the TRIPS negotiation, 2)
discusses the TRIPS Agreement and its follow-up agreements including the
1996 WIPO treaties, 3) points out the moral and ideological dogmas undelying
those agreements, and 4) proposes a counter-balancing between strong intellectual
property rights and strong competition restraints in order for the emerging

Predation
and Competition-- U. S. Supreme Court "Matsushita" Decision
This 8,000-word paper was presented to the General Assembly of the
Asia-Pacific Lawyers' Association held in Beijing, China on April 20, 1990
(revised on May 20, 1998). It describes in detail one of the longest and
the biggest lawsuits in the U. S. antitrust history fought between the
U. S. and the Japanese TV manufacturers from 1970 through 1988. Despite
its political background, the U. S. Supreme Court applied a highly economical
approach to the plaintiffs' traditional allegation of a "predation".
