The fact is that the Republic of Utopia is a country where setting up a company or entering the market is easily feasible. Nevertheless, Allied Toys Inc. contacted me in order to come up with the best solutions concerning its wishes to, have full exclusivity over the product, have no competing product on the market, and obtain easily all the paperwork needed to start the business. To do so, I will answer all this in three different stages. The first one will be dedicated to the competition laws and the second one will focus on the importance of the intellectual property laws.

[...] Leiman Business Ethics specialist ISEG MBA classes on 20th October 2007 See Appendices Page III The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention If Allied toys really need to be in business as soon as possible, I can only advise its top managers to refer to specialized organizations such as Transparency International for example.

[...] I - B / The case of allied toys According to the case, the competition laws in the Republic of Utopia “essentially follow the EU legislation”. It seems that the company wants to have no competitive product on the market and sell its products in fancy, specialized retail stores. I - C / MY Recommendations Allied Toys will have to pay attention to its position on the market. Get a monopolistic position is obviously forbidden, and so far, the offer made by the “well established and connected” local distributor is not clear, and legally dangerous. [...]
