24) The ultimate threat a foreign government can pose toward a company is seizing assets. South
Korea nationalized Kia, the nation's number three automaker, in the wake of the Asian currency
crisis. How does this nationalization differ from expropriation and confiscation?
Answer: Nationalization is generally broader in scope than expropriation. It occurs when the
government takes control of some or all of the enterprises in a particular industry. This is
recognized by international law as a legitimate exercise of government power, as long as the act
satisfies a "public purpose" and is accompanied by "adequate payment." On the other hand,
expropriation refers to governmental action to dispossess a foreign company or investor.
Compensation is generally provided, although not often in a prompt, effective, and adequate
manner. Also, it may not match with international standards. If no compensation is provided,
then it is referred to as confiscation. Confiscation is generally prohibited under international law
and is considered an unfair practice.

35) In Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, it is common to see that restaurants have signs declaring that
all food is "Halal." It is common that courts handle marriages, divorces, distribution of family
assets, and business practices by the "Sharia" law. What are these tenets and how do they have
an impact on international business?
Answer: The legal system in many Middle Eastern and some Far Eastern countries is identified
with the laws of Islam. These laws are associated with "the one and only one God, the
Almighty." In Islamic law, the sharia refers to a comprehensive code governing Muslim conduct
in all areas of life, including business. The code is primarily derived from two sources. The first
and foremost source is the Koran or the Holy Book that is a record of the revelations made to the
Prophet Mohammed by Allah (God). The second source is the Hadith which is an interpretation
of Koran based on the sayings and practices of Prophet Muhammad. In particular, the Hadith
spells out the products and practices that are Haram (forbidden) compared to Halal (allowed).
Any non-Muslim doing business in Islamic countries should be aware of the Islamic laws which
have wide implications for commercial activities including advertisement and promotion.

36) Explain giving examples as to why "Jurisdiction" plays an important role in global
marketing?
Answer: Jurisdiction plays an important role in trade-related disputes. Two examples illustrate
the importance jurisdiction plays in addressing trade-related disputes. One pitted Volkswagen
AG against General Motors. After GM's worldwide head of purchasing, José Ignacio López de
Arriortúa, was hired by Volkswagen in 1992, his former employer accused him of taking trade
secrets. Volkswagen accepted U.S. court jurisdiction in the dispute, although the company's
lawyers requested that the U.S. District Court in Detroit transfer the case to Germany.
Jurisdiction was also an issue in a trade dispute that pitted Eastman Kodak against Fuji Photo
Film. Kodak alleged that the Japanese government had helped Fuji in Japan by blocking the
distribution of Kodak film. The U.S. government turned the case over to the WTO despite the
opinion expressed by many experts that the WTO lacks jurisdiction in complaints over trade and
competition policy.

37) What are the differences between a patent, trademark, and a copyright? What is meant by
counterfeiting?
Answer: A patent is a formal legal document that gives an inventor the exclusive right to make,
use, and sell an invention for a specified period of time. Typically, this invention should be a
new, novel, and/or non-obvious creation. On the other hand, a trademark is defined as a
distinctive mark, motto, device, or emblem that a manufacturer affixes to a particular product or
package to distinguish it from goods produced by other manufacturers. A copyright establishes
ownership of a written, recorded, performed, or filmed creative work.

Counterfeiting is the unauthorized copying and production of a product. An associative


counterfeit, or imitation, uses a product name that differs slightly from a well-known brand but is
close enough that consumers will associate it with the genuine product. The worst form of
counterfeiting is known as piracy, which is the unauthorized publication or reproduction of
copyrighted work. Counterfeiting and piracy are particularly important in industries such as
motion pictures, recorded music, computer software, and textbook publishing. The United States
in particular has a vested interest in intellectual property protection worldwide since it is home to
many companies which have patents, trademarks, and copyrighted materials.

38) When a company invents a product or service, it should have a right to defend its creativity
with intellectual patents. However, there are some countries like Italy and China where piracy
and copyright violations are common. How can a corporation prevent this by having some built-
in measures in products and services?
Answer: Individuals or companies sometimes find ways to exploit loopholes or other unique
opportunities in patent, trademark, and copyrights. A company should take measures to protect
itself from such piracy situations. For many of the technological products, certain codes can be
built into the software program such that it is self-destructive or becomes inaccessible for those
who would like to use piracy. One of the sure safe methods is to make the product or service of
such a quality that it becomes very difficult or expensive for anyone to copy. One such example
can be seen in the formulas of Coke and Pepsi beverages. The product has special features and it
is distributed so cheaply such that there is no money left for the counterfeiters. Similarly,
packages and containers can be made in such a way that it will become expensive or otherwise
technologically impossible to copy. For example, in China, Budweiser cans have fluted edges
that are difficult to manufacture. Thus, there can be some inherent qualities or manufactured
processes which can make it difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate.

39) Nippon Paper Industries was found guilty in a U.S. court of conspiring with other Japanese
companies to raise fax paper prices in the United States under the antitrust laws. What are the
implications of such a law, and how does it affect international business?
Answer: Antitrust laws in the United States and other countries are designed to combat
restrictive business practices and to encourage competition. Agencies such as the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission, Japan's Fair Trade Commission, and the European Commission enforce
antitrust laws. According to some legal experts, the pressures of global competition have resulted
in an increased incidence of price-fixing and collusion among companies. The Sherman Act of
1890 prohibits certain restrictive business practices, including fixing prices, limiting production,
allocating markets, or any other scheme designed to limit or avoid competition. The law applies
to the activities of U.S. companies outside U.S. boundaries, as well as to foreign companies
conducting business in the United States. Nippon Paper Industries was found guilty in a U.S.
court of conspiring with other Japanese companies to raise fax paper prices in the United States.
The Japanese government denounced the U.S. indictment as a violation of international law and
Japan's sovereignty. A U.S. federal judge struck down the indictment, ruling that the Sherman
Act does not apply to foreign conduct. However, a federal appeals court reversed the decision.
