China's Antimonopoly Law, which will go into effect on 1 August 2008, includes explicit provisions to prohibit the abuse of intellectual property rights (IPR). To examine the impact of IPR enforcement on competition policy in China and how it will affect the global IP strategies of multinational corporations, the China Society for World Trade Organization Studies, an economic and trade research association under the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM), hosted this conference in Beijing on 26-27 April 2008. As part of the conference, NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Alan Cox delivered opening remarks and also presented "Dealing with Antitrust Problems in Standard Setting." Dr. Cox's presentation addressed antitrust problems that have occurred during the setting of standards, and the solutions that standard setting organizations have developed.
