Global Competition Policy Symposium on Section 5

ADVERTISEMENTS

The newest issue in Global Competition Policy includes a symposium (disclosure: for which I was the senior editor) on Section 5 enforcement under the FTC Act. Contributors included Commissioner Rosch’s attorney advisor Kyle Andeer, Doug Melamed (WilmerHale) and Joe Sims. My views on the expansion of Section 5 in the standard setting context, at least as represented by the N-Data enforcement action, are quite critical — and available in Federalism, Substantive Preemption, and Limits on Antitrust: An Application to Patent Holdup (with Bruce Kobayashi, and forthcoming in the Journal of Competition Law and Economics).

The issue also includes a symposium on the recently issued EC Pharmaceutical Report. I’ve cut and paste titles, authors and links below, which I think will take you through the GCP site.
