Islamic bank entities in Indonesia, namely BNI Syariah, BRI Syariah, and Bank Syariah Mandiri have merged to become Bank Syariah Indonesia. The merger process was effective on February 1, 2021. As we know, the three banks are state-owned, which have significant assets and have a reasonably large market in Indonesia. In connection with business competition law which seeks to create a fair business competition situation in Indonesia, every corporate action, including merger activities, must be notified to the Business Competition Supervision Commission (hereinafter as KPPU) to assess whether monopolistic practices or unfair business competition have occurred or not. The notification is an effort to supervise every business actor in order to carry out activities that do not violate business competition and do not harm other parties. This study aims to examine normatively the merger process carried out based on business competition law in Indonesia. The research uses materials from both regulations, legal principles, doctrine, and sources related to the subject matter. The data obtained were then analyzed for further analysis to produce conclusions. The results showed that the merger process between the three Islamic banks in Indonesia did not violate the business competition law because it did not occur in a position monopoly and the absence of monopolistic practices.

The acquisition of an EPUE may be impermissible under competition law only in special exceptional cases. This conceivably might hold true where a recognizable strategy of obstruction (Art 102 TFEU) is pursued by a company holding a dominant position with the aim of walling in competitors, without such patent proprietor having any intention of using the subject matter of patent protection himself. Also conceivably falling under the heading of inadmissible obstruction is the acquisition of a large number of patents by which the acquiring entity pursues the aim not of exploiting them but instead of using such acquisition to its own competitive advantage. The acquisition of such IP rights used merely for blockading purposes may qualify as part of the aforementioned strategy of obstruction and as such violate Art 102 TFEU. This may make it impermissible to invoke the patent: the competitor affected can raise the objection of abuse of a dominant position, which the UPC is in the position to consider (Art 32(1)(a) UPCA). As a general rule, such violation does not give rise to an obligation of cancellation because, if held by others actually using it themselves, it may turn out that the patent is no longer ‘flawed’.

This book represents a comprehensive, practical guide on the law, economics, and measurement of cartel damages under UK and European competition laws. It draws together the most recent research on cartels, economic analysis, empirical techniques, case law, and legislation to examine how the quantification of losses suffered by those harmed by a cartel are, and could be, applied under European and UK competition laws. Written with the practitioner in mind, the book displays a rigorous yet pragmatic approach to the subject. Detailed discussions of leading cases complement the treatment of the application of economic theory and empirical techniques in competition law and litigation. Three appendices provide the reader with quick reference guides to statistics on European Commission Cartel Decisions (1999 to 2019), Bank of England ‘base rate’ (1980 to 2019), and where to find key documents and information. The book is a practical guide to issues of increasing importance and relevance in competition law.

This chapter considers the subject matter for which European patents may validly be granted under the European Patent Convention (EPC), and the substantive European (EPC and EU) legal principles governing their identification and conception. To this end it discusses the two-fold role of the requirement for an invention in European patent law: first, as a means of filtering protectable from non-protectable subject matter; and second, as a means of denoting the object of patent protection, i.e. that which must be new, inventive, susceptible of industrial application, and clearly and sufficiently defined and described in the patent specification, and that with reference to which the scope of the patent monopoly is defined under Article 69 EPC. It also discusses the range of public policy-based exclusions from European patentability, and their relation to the requirement for an invention itself.

Rakstā atspoguļoti autora veiktās romiešu tiesību pirmavotu, galvenokārt romiešu sabiedrības līguma (societa – lat. val.), tiesiskā regulējuma izpētes rezultāti par minētā regulējuma un modernās Latvijas likumdošanas aktu idejiskajām kopsakarībām. Tajā uzsvērta romiešu legālo principu ietekme uz tādu darījumu, kuru priekšmets ir neatļauta un nepieklājīga darbība ar reliģijai, likumiem vai labiem tikumiem pretēju mērķi, spēkā neesamības tiesiskajā reglamentācijā, kā arī uz Latvijas Republikas Civillikumā ietverto “maldības”, “viltus”, “nosacījumu”, “termiņu” un “tiesiska darījuma formas” koncepciju romiskajiem pamatiem. Latvijas pētnieki minēto tematiku šādā skatupunktā īpaši nav aplūkojuši, ar publikācijām latviešu valodā autoram saskarties nav nācies, tāpēc šis pētījums varētu dot ieguldījumu nacionālās tiesību zinātnes attīstībā. The article deals with the results of the author’s research performed on the original sources of the legal regulation of Roman Law, mainly, Roman partnership agreement (societa – Latin) in relation to the principles of interconnections between the above mentioned regulation and the legislative acts of modern Latvia. The influence of Roman legal principles in relation to the regulation of an impermissible or indecent action has been pointed out, the purpose of which is contrary to religion, laws or moral principles – it may not be the subject-matter of a lawful transaction; such a transaction is void; there have also been emphasised such concepts as “mistake”, “fraud”, “conditions”, “terms” and “form of lawful transaction”, which are based on the Roman Law and included into the Civil Law of the Republic of Latvia. Latvian researchers have not studied the above mentioned problems in relation to these aspects; the author has not found any publication in Latvian concerning these issues. Thus, the research might be a particular contribution to the development of national jurisprudence.

Abuse of dominance is prohibited. However, exclusionary conduct of dominant undertaking may escape prohibition under Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union if the dominant firm can prove that there is a justification for its actions. The subject matter of this paper is the analysis of possible defences of a dominant firm, as well as identification of theoretical and practical problems relating to the defence of dominant undertaking in the competition law of the European Union.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
