Addressing international legal and ethical issues summary
The issues of resolving legal disputes in international transactions occurs frequently. Many companies involved with international transactions must be enforced in contracts between companies and countries. Just as in the simulation between the U.S. CadMex and Gentura located in Candore had to do. Without this, if a company needs to take legal action against one another then they have to figure out where to resolve this and how to go about it. Making sure that this is in the contract in the first steps will help to resolve legal disputes easier. Also this would be practical for the company to decide on the type of law whether to go with foreign or there homeland. As in the simulation some of the laws were both domestic and foreign. This sometimes can take a while for all parties to agree on, as many of the laws are different in each country.
Some factors that could work against CadMex’s decision to grant sublicensing would be that they could lose control of there drug ProPrez and may lose there contract with Candorean government. This would mean whom they sublicensed to could sell there product cheaper and CadMex would lose a huge profit. Many of the sources that use the drug ProPrez would save and go for the cheaper genric drug. The Candorean government may see this as a profit for them and could reject resigning an agreement with CadMex. This would be a huge hit on the company and may result in a breach of contract and come down to a lawsuit.
I feel that since the product is developed in Candore, then local customs and laws should prevail over the customs and laws of the United states. I feel that we as Americans have our customs and laws and we do ask others to understand ours, so we should out of respect and consideration to the Candorean government. The contract

    Sublicensing agreements comes into play when the organization has too many of them and does not fully incorporate sub-paragraphs. This leaves the organization up for lawsuits if any of the contracted workers do something wrong and also makes the main organization fully liable for any damages. Even workers within the sublicensing can sue a business formed within the sublicensing agreement (Melvin, 2011).…

    When entering into our contractual relationship with Gentura, CadMex choose the choice-of-law-clause of Candorean Regulations for Technology Import Contract (CRTIC), over the option of Contracts for the International Sales of Goods (CISG). It was determined early into the process that CISG was not a valid option since the country of Candore was not a signatory of CISG. Therefore, CRTIC was the chosen as the choice-of-law-clause, although CadMex legal counsel had many concerns about the red-tape Candorean authorities could insist upon. The forum selection clause chose Nonbinding International Arbitration, as the forum to dispute any contractual issues with Gentura. The nonbinding International Arbitration was chosen even after Candore gained WTO membership, because the Candore and US Courts has varying previsions about international contracts.…

    If CadMex decided to grant Gentura sublicensing agreements, the factors that could work against them is the fact that Gentura could produce their own generic version of the partnering product and they can also set their own prices at a lower cost. Gentura can take profits away from CadMex by creating a cheaper version of their own manufactured product. In the scenario presented in the simulation, Gentura had to make a choice of whether to go against CadMex and make a generic, cheaper version of the pharmaceutical to cover an outbreak or epidemic if it were to occur in order to save the…

    local law to prevail (giving an unfair advantage to the international party), conflicts can be decided by the International Arbitration in order to create a fair environment for both companies/countries. In comparing the issues of this simulation to the domestic legal issues in Week One readings, no comparison can be made because domestic legal issues depend on their local laws and if required, Federal laws, both having to do with the United States laws or not that of international nature. Companies will benefit more by separating their domestic and international business. This was there can be no confusion as to which law will be applied to any legal issue that may arise.…

    Some practical considerations of taking legal action against a foreign business based in another country are whether they have patent law and trademark laws. Factors that could work against CadMex decision to grant sublicensing agreements would be the lack of patent rights and the fact that they did not go through the proper court process in Candore. When local customs and laws conflict with customs and laws of an organization, operating abroad the local law and customs should prevail because that is where the contract was based. The host country should have manufactures rights. For example if the United States and China goes into a contract in regards to Chinese traditional attire and there is a dispute, the Chinese should win because it is a part of their tradition and the United States assumed the risk.…
