微软收购诺基亚后的风云变幻

9月3日,微软宣布以约72亿美元收购诺基亚设备和服务部门,包括诺基亚专利组合10年的非排他性许可。这是继谷歌收购摩托罗拉的手机业务后行业内的又一个大事件。相对于谷歌收购摩托罗拉而言,微软收购诺基亚给整个业界带来了更大的影响。谷歌通过收购进一步强化了自身的专利铠甲,收购后,摩托罗拉基本上被处于冷藏状态。而微软的收购只是购买了10年的非排他性的专利许可。显然,已经拥     

从合作到合体微软与诺基亚的奇怪婚姻

正诺基亚、微软,两个曾经的大佬,如今在智能手机市场一起陷入了泥沼。强强联手开疆扩土的誓言犹在耳边,然而现实中王者归来的大戏尚未开幕就已胎死腹中,在相互扶持挣扎了两年之后,在智能手机领域没能力挽狂澜的微软和诺基亚却再次在新闻界掀起波澜,赚足了眼球。与上次的合作不同,这次是彻底的收购。但是,在他们的时代已经落幕后,人们已经很难相信,他们还会冲上舞台中央。9月3日,诺基亚、微软同日于官方网站发布消     

United States v Microsoft: High-tech Antitrust

'United States v Microsoft: High-tech Antitrust'. This article considers some of the substantive issues that have been raised by the case brought against Microsoft and that call into question the application of competition law to high-technology industries. Drawing arguments from both the United States and European Union jurisdictions the article focuses in particular on the relationship between intellectual property and competition law. Consideration is also given to product development and bundling, and to predation through innovation. In conclusion the author suggests that competition laws should continue to be applied to this sector, but that traditional analysis needs to be refined, and that intent should be more carefully considered.     

欧委会vs．微软反垄断案：一个败笔还是新里程碑

欧盟委员会(欧委会)于2004年3月就微软公司垄断一案作出决定,认定其违反欧盟法反垄断条款,包括拒绝向竞争厂商提供Windows操作系统和网络服务器之间的界面兼容信息,以及将MediaPlayer与Windows操作系统(下称Windows OS)捆绑销售。据此责令微软向竞争厂家公布特定界面兼容信息,同时推出包含和不包含Media Player的两款Windows OS供市场选择,并支付近5亿欧元的罚款。     

Designed to fail: Self-control and involvement in the criminal justice system

This study investigates self-control theory using official and selfreported criminal records of 500 adult offenders. Four items derived from rapsheets (aliases, date of birth, place of birth, and social security number) are used as indicators of the self-control construct. Negative binomial regression models indicate a significant inverse relationship between self-control and escape arrests, failure to appear violations, probation and parole violations, felony convictions, and prison sentences. Since system involvement entails discipline, tenacity, and responsibility, offenders with low self-control are more likely to experience a criminal justice system failure.

合理无歧视许可要求的客观衡量标准探析——从解读欧盟委员会对微软的裁决出发

合理无歧视的许可要求由于缺乏客观的衡量标准,致使标准实施人的正当利益无法得到根本的保护,可能损害市场对相关标准实施的信心。欧盟委员会在针对微软滥用市场支配地位所作出的2004年的裁决、以及2005年末就微软履行2004年委员会裁决作出的报告中,就事实标准中知识产权许可需要符合的“合理无歧视许可”要求这一问题进行了分析,对这些规则进行法律解读,可以为确定合理无歧视许可的具体内容提供参考。     

Why professionals fail to catch liars and how they can improve

In the first part of this article, I briefly review research findings that show that professional lie catchers, such as police officers, are generally rather poor at distinguishing between truths and lies. I believe that there are many reasons contributing towards this poor ability, and give an overview of these reasons in the second part of this article. I also believe that professionals could become better lie detectors and explain how in the final part of this article.
