Apple's pricing of eBooks, Microsoft's licensing practices, Erickson's dispute in India with mobile phone manufacturer MicroMax, standard setting by trade associations ... These were some of the topics Professor Shubha Ghosh addressed at an invited lecture given at Wuhan University Faculty of Law on May 15, 2014. 

Professor Ghosh spoke to a group of thirty law school graduate students and practitioners for three hours. The discussion was lively, and Professor Ghosh's talk provided a history of the parallel development of competition law and intellectual property in England and the United States and the relevance of these two areas of law for developing countries.
