Extraterritorial Applications of Antitrust Law: U.S. and Japanese Approaches
By: Guhan Subramanian and Michelle Kalka
Abstract
This case describes the differebt approaches the United States and Japan have taken to extend the jurisdiction of their antitrust laws to foreign companies. The section on the United States, in particular, focuses on the evolving logic of the Supreme Court in dealing with these issues. It presents the case of United States vs. Nippon Paper Industries Co. Ltd. and demonstrates the difficulties of applying somewhat abstract principles of jurisdiction to a real-life situation.
