The project IP in Asia serves the need to understand the legal and regulatory environment in our immediate region, especially as it relates to IP. It focuses on the interrelationship between IP law, related regulation and the growing creator and consumer sectors in digital content in Asia, emphasising China and ASEAN.

Plans for 2010

During 2010, Antons will complete the editing and publish books currently under contract with Kluwer, Edward Elgar and Ashgate on The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights: Comparative Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific Region, Intellectual Property Law in Southeast Asia and Law in East Asia: Socio-Legal Issues. He will also continue to work on a further book project on Intellectual Property Chapters in Free Trade Agreements in the Asia-Pacific Region.

Antons will present papers at conferences in Taiwan, USA, Singapore and Indonesia. He is invited to contribute to three edited book projects, a special Southeast Asia journal issue and a further journal publication. He will contribute to the research project 'International Trade in Indigenous Cultural Heritage' at the University of Lucerne.

Towards the middle of 2010, Antons will organise an international workshop on IP in Asia at the University of Wollongong.
