After the meeting, the presidents announced a “strategic and economic dialogue,” to be jumpstarted with a series of high-level working visits over the summer.

A Case Study in Minimum Wages and Employment

Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast Food Industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania

On April 1, 1992 New Jersey’s minimum wage increased from $4.25 to $5.05 per hour. To evaluate the impact of the law we surveyed 410 fast food restaurants in New Jersey and Pennsylvania before and after the rise in the minimum. Comparisons of the changes in wages, employment, and prices at stores in New Jersey relative to stores in Pennsylvania (where the minimum wage remained fixed at $4.25 per hour) yield simple estimates of the effect of the higher minimum wage.


Our empirical findings challenge the prediction that a rise in the minimum reduces employment. Relative to stores in Pennsylvania, fast food restaurants in New Jersey increased employment by 13 percent. We also compare employment growth at stores in New Jersey that were initially paying high wages (and were unaffected by the new law) to employment changes at lower-wage stores. Stores that were unaffected by the minimum wage had the same employment growth as stores in Pennsylvania, while stores that had to increase their wages increased their employment.

Patent Infringement Litigation Case Study


Patent Invalidation Procedure against Patent Right in Japan

It has been interpreted that a patent shall be construed as valid in an infringement court. Under the Japan Patent Act, a patent is valid until a trial decision of invalidation of a patent by an invalidation trial of the Japan Patent Office is made final and conclusive. Only the Japan Patent Office can invalidate a patent.

Patent Infringement Litigation Case StudyHowever, “an apparent reason for invalidation” is found in the patent by a patent infringement court in a patent infringement law suit, the court should decide that the patent is “unenforceable” by the reason of “abuse of patent right” in the light of equity ( the Judgment of the Supreme Court of Japan, Third Petty Bench, April 11, 2000, Heisei 10 (o) 364, in so-called “Kilby case” ).

Patent Act Article 104.3 (came into force from April 1, 2005) has made clear the “unenforceability of an invalid patent” in accordance with this Judgment of the Supreme Court.

Since the Supreme Court’s Judgment in the Kilby Case, almost alleged infringers have asserted reasons of invalidity of patent rights on the ground of abuse of right. Since Japan Patent Act Article 104.3 came into force on Apr. 1, 2005, alleged infringers have asserted unenforciability of patent rights because of lack of patentability on the ground of the Article 104.3(1).
