Last week I gave two presentations in Asia. On Monday, I presented The Law and Economics of Wrongful Patent Assertion at IEEM (Instituto de Estudos Europeus de Macau)’s 20th Intellectual Property Seminar, “Proportionality in Intellectual Property Law,” in Macau, S.A.R. The presentation summarized some of my current book project, Wrongful Patent Assertion: A Comparative Law and Economics Analysis, and I understand that a short paper based on my presentation will be published in a forthcoming edited volume of papers presented at the conference. Then on Wednesday, I presented Extraterritorial Damages for IP Infringement Under U.S. Law at IEEM’s IP Programme 2024: Professional Intellectual Property Update, in Hong Kong, S.A.R. This is a topic I discuss in my other current book project, Remedies in Intellectual Property Law, which will be part of Elgar’s IP law series. Both conferences were outstanding. I learned a great deal about developments in Asian and European IP law, including (of particular interest to me in view of book project # 1) the abuse of right doctrine, proportionality and injunctive relief in the E.U., the law of unjustified threats, and unfair competition claims premised on false assertions of IP infringement. I thank conference organizers Christopher Heath and Anselm Kamperman Sanders, as well as participants including IEEM President Paulo Canelas de Castro, Tianxiang He, Chaho Jung, Kung-Chung Liu, Amandine Léonard, David Llewelyn, Peter Teunissen, Henry Wheare, and HKSAR Director of Intellectual Property David FL Wong. It was great to see old friends and make some new ones!
