A new regulation to ban the abuse of intellectual property rights is being considered as anti-monopoly authorities step up legislative efforts following talks with electronics industry leaders Samsung Electronics Co and Qualcomm Inc.
Under the regulation, proprietors would be forbidden from using intellectual property rights to reach agreements for market monopoly purposes.
This includes fixing or changing product prices and limiting production or sales levels.
