Last
week I gave two presentations in Asia. 
On Monday, I presented The Law and Economics of Wrongful Patent Assertion
at IEEM (Instituto de Estudos Europeus de Macau)’s 20th Intellectual Property
Seminar, “Proportionality in Intellectual Property Law,” in Macau, S.A.R.  The presentation summarized some of my current
book project, Wrongful Patent Assertion: 
A Comparative Law and Economics Analysis, and I understand that a short paper based on my presentation will be published in a forthcoming edited volume of papers presented at
the conference.  Then on Wednesday, I
presented Extraterritorial Damages for IP Infringement Under U.S. Law at
IEEM’s IP Programme 2024:  Professional
Intellectual Property Update, in Hong Kong, S.A.R.  This is a topic I discuss in my other current
book project, Remedies in Intellectual Property Law, which will be part
of Elgar’s IP law series.  Both
conferences were outstanding.  I learned
a great deal about developments in Asian and European IP law, including (of
particular interest to me in view of book project # 1) the abuse of right
doctrine, proportionality and injunctive relief in the E.U., the law of
unjustified threats, and unfair competition claims premised on false assertions
of IP infringement.  I thank conference organizers
Christopher Heath and Anselm Kamperman Sanders, as well as participants
including IEEM President Paulo Canelas de Castro, Tianxiang He, Chaho Jung,
Kung-Chung Liu, Amandine Léonard, David Llewelyn, Peter Teunissen, Henry Wheare,
and HKSAR Director of Intellectual Property David FL Wong.  It was great to see old friends and make
some new ones!
