8:30 – 10:30 A.M. (8:00 A.M. Registration)
Santa Clara University, Benson Center, Mission Room, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara
There is no fee to attend and continental breakfast will be served.
Two hours of California MCLE credits will be provided. A year in to the Obama Administration, what have we learned about the emerging contours of antitrust policy? What should corporate leadership including General Counsel do next?
The program will begin with an overview of the many types of conduct that are covered by the antitrust laws. These Distinguished Speakers, including a senior official of DOJ’s Antitrust Division, will then discuss government initiatives and practical business implications for “cutting edge” issues in competition policy such as merger scrutiny; price discounts for “loyalty” customers; bundling/tying; minimum resale prices; product design and interoperability; and patent licensing practices.
