Strategic Conduct Aimed at Excluding Competitors and Innovation
My article “Strategic Conduct Aimed at Excluding Competitors and Innovation” appeared in the special feature “Innovation and Competition Policy” in the February issue (no. 892) of Kosei Torihiki.
Since the feature was written by legendary scholars, I felt I had to work hard and write something good. I worked on it desperately for two months, from around October into the new year, and I am attached to it. My second son was born on October 30, so I did most of the research with him in a baby carrier. It was really tough…
I got carried away and drew up a grand research plan, and in the end I had to submit without being able to write everything I wanted. Compared with the ideal I had originally planned, it feels as though I stopped at the introduction of the ideal paper. Someone who could fit all of the intended content perfectly into a six-page manuscript and still make it an easy read would be first-rate…
Even so, this manuscript is the best I could do for now. I would be glad if you took a look.
The “examination from the standpoint of legal hermeneutics” mentioned in the discussion is an issue I spent about a year preparing in 2022 but have not yet published. I would like to deepen it and, if possible, publish it within fiscal 2025.
