An Open Letter to Eric Schmidt from Mathias Döpfner Dear Eric Schmidt
An open letter to Eric Schmidt from Mathias Döpfner Dear Eric Schmidt, In your text “Die Chancen des Wachstums” (“The Opportunities for Growth”) in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, you reply to an article which this newspaper had published a few days earlier under the title “Angst vor Google” (“Fear of Google”). You repeatedly mention the Axel Springer publishing house. In the spirit of transparency I would like to reply with an open letter to highlight a couple of things from our point of view. We have known each other for many years, and have, as you state, had lengthy and frequent discussions on the relationship between European publishers and Google. As you know, I am a great admirer of Google's entrepreneurial success. In just a few short years, starting in 1998, this company has grown to employ almost 50,000 people worldwide, generated sixty billion dollars in revenue last year, and has a current market capitalization of more than 350 billion dollars. Google is not only the biggest search engine in the world, but along with Youtube (the second biggest search engine in the world) it also has the largest video platform, with Chrome the biggest browser, with Gmail the most widely used e-mail provider, and with Android the biggest operating system for mobile devices. Your article rightly points out what fabulous impetus Google has given to growth of the digital economy. In 2013, Google made a profit of fourteen billion dollars. I take my hat off to this outstanding entrepreneurial performance. 1 In your text you refer to the marketing cooperation between Google and Axel Springer.

Interlocks Under Section 8 Cover Forrest:Sample Reprint Layout
Corporate Board Member “Interlocks Under Section 8 of the Clayton Act: What Directors and Their Counsel Need to Know” May 3, 2010 CRAVATH, SWAINE & MOORE LLP Printed with permission from Board Member Inc., www.boardmember.com. Interlocks Under Section 8 of the Clayton Act: What Directors And Their Counsel Need To Know May 3, 2010 by Katherine Forrest and Jonathan Clarke President Obama's nomination of aggressive new antitrust enforcers has led to increased focus on a previously little-used statute, Section 8 of the Clayton Act, which bars interlocking board relationships between competitors. A 2009 FTC investigation into the relationship between Google and Apple resulted in the voluntary resignations of Google CEO Eric Schmidt from the board of Apple and of former Genentech CEO Arthur D. Levinson from the boards of both Apple and Google. More recently, venture capitalist John Doerr resigned from the board of Amazon amid an FTC investigation into Amazon's relationship with Google, where Mr. Doerr is also a director. These headline-grabbing cases make it incumbent upon directors and their counsel to understand the risks associated with Section 8. The FTC has stated that it intends to continue monitoring director interlocks. Such monitoring could pose particular concern in Silicon Valley, where executives and venture capitalists often sit concurrently on the boards of companies that have joint marketing and development agreements in some markets but that compete vigorously in others. This practice of “coopetition” can offer benefits, but it also poses risks of improper information-sharing and agreements that could be harmful to consumers. Simply stated, Section 8 prohibits a person from serving as a director or officer of two or more corporations when those corporations are competitors.

The Future According to Google
Travis: THE FUTURE ACCORDING TO GOOGLE THE FUTURE ACCORDING TO GOOGLE: TECHNOLOGY POLICY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF AMERICA'S FASTEST-GROWING TECHNOLOGY COMPANY By Hannibal Travis* 11 YALE J.L. & TECH. 209 (2009) As the fastest-growing technology company in the United States,' Google has been at the center of some of the most contentious technology policy disputes of recent years. In the federal courts, these disputes focus on the fair or noncommercial use of copyrighted work and trademarks on the Internet. In Congress, Google is leading the charge in favor of laws protecting innovative Internet companies from discriminatory or exorbitant charges by broadband and wireless infrastructure providers. It has also been a vocal opponent of excessive governmental control over Internet content. Copyright lawsuits arising out of search engines and user- generated content sites such as Google Video and YouTube have the potential to change the rules governing communication over the Internet. Similarly, trademark litigation alleging that comparative and Internet keyword-based advertising are infringing may limit the ability of technology companies and their customers to compete online. Many technology companies also believe that injunctive relief obtained by the owners of patents in comparatively minor components of complex software-enabled products may chill innovation and divert capital away from applied research. But it seems that the power of infrastructure providers to favor allied content providers has truly spooked technology leaders like Google. Meanwhile, Google, other technology and Internet companies, and members of Congress have demanded action to limit foreign governments' ability to block U.S.-based Web content from being accessed by persons present in their territory.
