Thus, many eyes are carefully watching the new administration to determine what the new competition rules will be, especially in light of the ongoing financial crisis.
Following an overview of the many types of conduct that are covered by the antitrust laws, these Distinguished Speakers will discuss the 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; patent licensing practices; the application of antitrust laws to new government-owned entitities; “too big to fall” as an antitrust concept; and brand/generic patent settlements.
