DownloadContentSummaryThis report examines the international movements of intellectual property ownership and associated competition policies in two areas: the legal system and international standards.
Laws addressing intellectual property ownership and competition policies contradict each other. Intellectual property laws legalize the institutional restrictions on competition within certain parameters by giving exclusive rights as an economic incentive for the development of science, technology and art.
Contrary to this, anti-monopoly laws impose restrictions on imposing barriers to competition in fair trade. Therefore, this report investigates proposed standards and rules that could harmonize intellectual property laws and anti-monopoly regulations.
The other issue addressed in the paper is that of international standards and cooperation. Recently, multilateral cooperation on monopoly regulations have been explored by international organization such as the UN and OECD. There have been several agreements, made toward a mutual assistance system in regards to WTO and NAFTA monopoly regulations, foremost of which has been that on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights. -

Industrial StructureDownloadContentSummaryAlthough the German government has attempted to transform the industrial structure of former-East Germany into a market economy system in the post-unification era, it has been unsuccessful. This is attributed to the market monopoly and barriers to the smooth flow of resources from companies in former-West Germany. This paper suggests that the Korean government can learn from the policy implications offered by changes in industrial structure in the process of German unification. From these changes, the Korean government can form its own policy direction for matters that demand special attention after Korea unifies and moves to a market economy system. In particular, it is important that the price system is not transformed according to the market. For example, North Korean income for individuals should be assured by distributing the ownership of government property instead of selecting a favorable conversion rate for North Korean currency.
