Eu Concerted Practices & Us Concerted Actions: Beyond William H. Page’S Proposal, Mariateresa Maggiolino, Federico Ghezzi
Eu Concerted Practices & Us Concerted Actions: Beyond William H. Page’S Proposal, Mariateresa Maggiolino, Federico Ghezzi
mariateresa maggiolino
The recent analysis developed by professor William H. Page on the US notion of concerted actions raised the idea to develop an article that exams in-death the EU meaning of concerned practices and that skein of US doctrines that focus on several phenomena running from facilitating practices to invitations to collude, plus factors and agreements to exchange information. According to professor Page, the current definition of concerted actions misses the opportunity to use inter-firm communications as the discriminating factor between cases of collusive pricing practices and cases of interdependent parallel behaviors that result in the same market price. To …
Putting Innovation Incentives Back In The Patent-Antitrust Interface, Thomas K. Cheng
Putting Innovation Incentives Back In The Patent-Antitrust Interface, Thomas K. Cheng
Thomas K. Cheng
This Article proposes a new approach, the constrained maximization approach, to the patent-antitrust interface. It advocates a return to the utilitarian premise of the patent system, which posits that innovation incentives are preserved so long as the costs of innovation are recovered. While this premise is widely accepted, it is seldom applied by the courts in patent-antitrust cases. The result is that courts and commentators have been overly deferential to dynamic efficiency arguments in defense of patent exploitation practices, and have failed to scrutinize the extent to which patentee reward is genuinely essential to generating innovation incentives. Under the constrained …
The Evolving Populisms Of Antitrust, Sandeep Vaheesan
The Evolving Populisms Of Antitrust, Sandeep Vaheesan
Sandeep Vaheesan
Scholars often divide the eras of U.S. antitrust law into those of “populism” and “economics” and posit a fundamental conflict between the two concepts. Generally, the decisions of the current antitrust era are described as economic, and the mid-twentieth century period is labeled as populist. A review of Supreme Court decisions on antitrust reveals a more complex picture. From the enactment of the Sherman Act in 1890, the Court’s antitrust rulings have spoken of populist goals and aimed to advance these objectives through economically informed rules. Populism versus economics is thus a false dichotomy.

Game Over For First Sale, Stephen J. Mcintyre
Game Over For First Sale, Stephen J. Mcintyre
Stephen J McIntyre
Video game companies have long considered secondhand game retailers a threat to their bottom lines. With the next generation of gaming consoles on the horizon, some companies are experimenting with technological tools to discourage and even prevent gamers from buying and selling used games. Most significantly, a recent patent application describes a system for suppressing secondhand sales by permanently identifying game discs with a single video game console. This technology flies in the face of copyright law’s “first sale” doctrine, which gives lawful purchasers the right to sell, lease, and lend DVDs, CDs, and other media. This Article answers a …

A More Harmonious Approach To Evaluate Pharmaceutical Patent Litigation’S “Reverse Payment Settlements”: What About The Patents?, Wenhao Leu
Wenhao Leu
"Reverse Payment Settlements" in pharmaceutical patent litigations represent one of the most challenging legal issues to resolve today because the courts do not have the right tools to do so. Though sharp divisions exist among the circuit courts with application of different tests, none of them has yet to achieve the right balance between the patentees' right to exclude and consumers' need for cheaper generic drugs.
This paper examines more closely the IP aspects of Reverse Payment Settlement agreements—the pharmaceutical patents—in order to resolve their antitrust issues. With weaker patents that are susceptible to invalidation or findings of non-infringement, pharmaceutical …

Rise Of The Intercontinentalexchange And Implications Of Its Merger With Nyse Euronext, Latoya C. Brown
Rise Of The Intercontinentalexchange And Implications Of Its Merger With Nyse Euronext, Latoya C. Brown
Latoya C. Brown, Esq.
This paper examines the impending merger between the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) and NYSE Euronext against the backdrop of the current structure of the global financial services industry. The paper concludes that the merger embodies what the financial services industry is becoming and captures the model that will allow exchanges to remain competitive in today’s marketplace: mega-exchanges with broader asset classes and electronic platforms. As technology and globalization threaten their vitality, exchanges will need to continue reinventing and adapting. Increasingly over the last decade they have done so by merging and by moving, at least a part of, their operations on screen. …
The Regulation Of U.S. Money Market Funds: Lessons From Europe, Latoya C. Brown
The Regulation Of U.S. Money Market Funds: Lessons From Europe, Latoya C. Brown
Latoya C. Brown, Esq.
The recent financial crisis challenged long held perceptions of money market funds (“MMFs”) as stable and highly liquid instruments. Regulators in the US and in Europe now seek to impose additional rules on MMFs to avoid another significant failure as happened to the Reserve Fund. In the US, the debate is drawing even more media attention as question of which regulatory body - such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Treasury Department, and the Financial Stability Oversight Council – should lead the way has taken interesting twists and turns. This paper examines primary reform options being proposed in the …
