Intellectual Property License and Competition Policy

1.今年年初，我收集了相关的期刊、书籍、报告和文件，试图找到问题。我还访问了东京或大坂的一些大学图书馆和研究机构，在那里复制了各种文件。今年，我参加了公平贸易委员会的“数字内容和竞争政策研究小组”。这个研究小组与这项研究有很大的关系，所以我在讨论中得到了重要的建议。去年，我参加了“从竞争政策的观点研究新领域专利问题的研究小组”和“反垄断法下的软件许可协议等研究小组”（公平交易委员会），这些研究小组的报告都与本研究有关。我在“知识产权研究小组”（京都比较法中心）作报告（2002年4月10日）（我的报告将通过该中心的网站<http://www.kclc.or.jp/>提供）。是的，我完成了一些论文：（1）IT（信息技术），知识产权和竞争政策，（2）版权和反垄断法，（3）软件许可作为版权作品和反垄断法。(1)对知识产权和竞争政策的基本概念，包括许可问题进行了一般性的介绍和分析。(2)本文的重点是对作为知识产权主体的著作权与反垄断法的关系进行详细的论述。最后，（3）是本研究的主要成果。本人长期从事计算机软件的研究，（3）从《反垄断法》的角度探讨了软件许可的各种问题。

1. In the earlier of this year, I had collected related journal, books, reports and documents and tried to find issues. I also visited some college libraries and research institutions in Tokyo or Osaka and there copied various documents.2. I took part in 'Study Group on Digital Contents and Competition Policy' (Fair Trade Commission) this year. This study group was much related to this research so I was given important suggestions during the discussion. I was a member of 'Study Group examining issues on Patents in New Fields from the view Points of Competition Policy' and 'Study Group on Software Licensing Agreements, etc. under the Antimonopoly' (Fair Trade Commission) last year and these study group's reports had relation to this research. I reported at 'the Study Group on Intellectual Property' (Kyoto Comparative Law Center) (10/4/2002) (My reports will be available via the Center's website<http://www.kclc.or.jp/>).3. This yea, I turned out some thesis ; (1) IT(Information Technology), Intellectual Property and Competition Policy, (2) Copyright an Anti-Monopoly Law, (3) Software Licenses as a Copyrighted Work and Anti-Monopoly Law. (1) is a general introduction and analysis about basically notion of intellectual property and competition policy including issues on licensing. (2) is to focus on the relation between copyright as main one of intellectual property and the Anti-Monopoly Act in detail. Lastly, (3) is a main fruit of this research. I have studied about computer software for a long time and (3) examines various problems on software licensing from view to the Anti-Monopoly Act.
