There are acts and practices in the distribution chain that can result in efficient provision of goods, others that can adversely affect competition and consumers, and some that have both effects to some degree. Competition law attempts to identify and prevent acts and practices in product distribution that adversely affect competition and consumers. In particular, this new 2nd edition updates all of the content from the earlier 2006 edition, including the substantial developments in case law in key areas such as bundled discounts and resale price maintenance. In addition, this edition contains three new chapters. The first summarizes the key economic concepts used to evaluate the competitive effects of distribution restraints. The second discusses how technological developments and the internet have affected antitrust law and economics. The third provides a detailed overview and discussion of the relevant distribution laws and their enforcement in the European Union. Changes in format…

?Ninety percent of U.S. antitrust enforcement is generated through private actions, and the class action is perhaps the primary mechanism through which private actors seek to enforce antitrust laws. Acknowledged as a potent tool, class action law and procedure are becoming an unavoidable fact of life for antitrust practitioners.

The book is intended as a comprehensive discussion of the issues that arise before, during, and after the filing of an antitrust class action. It considers the issues and challenges faced by both plaintiffs and defendants to such actions, and focuses on both the evolving legal standards as well as the strategic decisions that guide these highly complex cases.

The intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust law is busy and complicated, and there's no reason to believe that the heavy traffic will abate anytime soon. In the past year alone, the congress, regulators and courts have all made significant statements affecting the historical balance between the competing policies underlying intellectual property and antitrust law. Antitrust Issues in Intellectual Property Law focuses on recent developments, helping the IP practitioner stay informed about the law and the many ways in which antitrust law limits, disciplines, and counterbalances intellectual property law and vice versa. Topics cover antitrust issues in these areas of intellectual property law: Acquisition, procurement, and ownership Licensing Litigation Settlements under the Hatch-Waxman Act Incorporation of IP into a standard set by a standard-setting organization (SSO)

The years since publication of the second edition in 2006 have seen a significant evolution in the nature of the relationship between antitrust, business tort, and unfair competition law. Business Torts and Unfair Competition Handbook , Third Edition revises, updates, and greatly expands the second edition to serve as a practical guide to the substantive and procedural issues that arise at the intersection of antitrust and business tort and unfair competition law.

The energy industry has been at the center of the development of many antitrust laws. In particular, the oil industry has been the source of many seminal antitrust cases. The electric and natural gas industries also have contributed several seminal cases, but have been subject to substantial if not complete antitrust immunity in light of pervasive federal and state regulation until the introduction of competition in the late 1980s and 1990s. Although the electric and natural gas industries continue to be subject to less pervasive regulation, new antitrust issues and concerns about "market manipulation" have become the focus of scrutiny in the electric, natural gas, and petroleum industries. This third edition of the Energy Antitrust Handbook presents a guide to an industry that has great importance to the U.S. economy. It is written to assist energy, regulatory, and antitrust lawyers in understanding the multilayered complexity of this field by providing a basic background on antitru…

Throughout its life, federal antitrust law has been subject to literally dozens of limitations. Specific statutory exemptions have existed since 1914 and currently about 30 of them remain in force. Antitrust is likewise limited by several distinct, voluminous bodies of caselaw that set out judicially created exemptions, to shield politics, labor, and a broad range of industries subject to other regulation. Several of these doctrines have become complex and uncertain. The scope of antitrust, in other words, now comprises a substantial body of law in its own right. This new Handbook on the Scope of Antitrust offers a first-of-its-kind, user-friendly solution in the form of a one-stop, black-letter-focused book of practical guidance on all exemptions and immunities issues, treating them in an integrated fashion as components of one body of law.

Cartel issues arise in a variety of settings and industries and increasingly without regard to jurisdictional boundaries. Many jurisdictions have granted their competition authorities broad jurisdictional reach and provided them with aggressive investigative tools, such as wiretap authority and compulsory process. There is also a burgeoning movement to criminalize cartel activity in places where it has previously been regarded as wholly or principally a civil or administrative matter. And the global proliferation of leniency programs continues to radically destabilize cartels, creating powerful incentives for institutions to turn against their co-conspirators. This first edition of the International Antitrust Cartel Handbook is a vital reference for both new and experienced antitrust practitioners navigating the increasingly complex global cartel enforcement environment. It brings together leading cartel practitioners from around the world to address the critical issues that arise th…

Market Definition in Antitrust: Issues and Case Studies provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues involved in defining markets in antitrust cases. Market definition is central to most antitrust cases, because determining the existence of market power typically requires the definition of a relevant market. This book will prove a valuable guide to antitrust practitioners and consulting economists who are dealing with market definition. This book is a thorough and accessible single volume practical guide to the definition of relevant markets and to empirical techniques that have been used in a variety of industries. The first chapter provides an overview of the theoretical concept of a relevant market. The remaining chapters provide industry-specific illustrations of how markets are defined in different contexts. The economic and legal analysis of product market definition has advanced significantly past the simple tests that were put forth in the Supreme Court's 1962 decision in B…

The Handbook begins with the definition of market power and an introduction to the role market power plays in plays in cases brought under the principal antitrust statutes.

Every case brought under Section 1 of the Sherman Act requires proof of an agreement, and the new second edition of Proof of Conspiracy Under Federal Antitrust Laws is a required reference for antitrust practitioners. Proving an agreement under the requirements of the antitrust laws can be complicated. Agreements may take many forms. They may be express or implied, formal or informal, concrete or flexible, simple or complex, written, spoken, or even entered with a "wink of the eye." This book presents simple and understandable guidance that sets forth the current state of the law for proving such agreements. Proof of Conspiracy Under Federal Antitrust Laws discusses the use of direct and indirect evidence to get at the heart of what constitutes an agreement—or as the Supreme Court has termed it a "commitment to a common scheme"—at every stage in litigation. The book includes a careful analysis of the dramatic changes the United States Supreme Court has made to antitrust…

Until very recently, U.S. manufacturing had been in decline for more than a generation. The great manufacturing juggernaut that defined the country from around the middle of the 19th century until the last quarter of the 20th became a dim memory. But that's changing. Manufacturing is on the rebound, and the tide is getting stronger. U.S. manufacturers are outpacing their global rivals due to increased domestic demand, an export surge, worker's rights and pollution problems overseas, cheap energy, and headwinds facing foreign competitors. Manufacturing Business and the Law examines the history of U.S. industry; the laws, regulations, and guidelines governing it now; the legal careers being created and getting those jobs; how to immerse yourself in an industry and become the lawyer your company needs; and where and how manufacturing will continue to grow.

There are acts and practices in the distribution chain that can result in efficient provision of goods, others that can adversely affect competition and consumers, and some that have both effects to some degree. Competition law attempts to identify and prevent acts and practices in product distribution that adversely affect competition and consumers. In particular, this new 2nd edition updates all of the content from the earlier 2006 edition, including the substantial developments in case law in key areas such as bundled discounts and resale price maintenance. In addition, this edition contains three new chapters. The first summarizes the key economic concepts used to evaluate the competitive effects of distribution restraints. The second discusses how technological developments and the internet have affected antitrust law and economics. The third provides a detailed overview and discussion of the relevant distribution laws and their enforcement in the European Union. Changes in format…

The book is intended as a comprehensive discussion of the issues that arise before, during, and after the filing of an antitrust class action. It considers the issues and challenges faced by both plaintiffs and defendants to such actions, and focuses on both the evolving legal standards as well as the strategic decisions that guide these highly complex cases.

Topics cover antitrust issues in these areas of intellectual property law: Acquisition, procurement, and ownership Licensing Litigation Settlements under the Hatch-Waxman Act Incorporation of IP into a standard set by a standard-setting organization (SSO)

The years since publication of the second edition in 2006 have seen a significant evolution in the nature of the relationship between antitrust, business tort, and unfair competition law. Business Torts and Unfair Competition Handbook , Third Edition revises, updates, and greatly expands the second edition to serve as a practical guide to the substantive and procedural issues that arise at the intersection of antitrust and business tort and unfair competition law. This E-Book first addresses substantive issues, beginning with the changing role of business torts in antitrust litigation and continuing with the extent to which antitrust concepts have been invoked in business tort litigation. These chapters focus on the renewed usage in recent years of business torts as proof of exclusionary conduct supporting antitrust claims, as well as the invocation of the "competitive privilege" and the Noerr-Pennington doctrine in defense of business tort claims. The following two chapters surv…

The energy industry has been at the center of the development of many antitrust laws. In particular, the oil industry has been the source of many seminal antitrust cases. The electric and natural gas industries also have contributed several seminal cases, but have been subject to substantial if not complete antitrust immunity in light of pervasive federal and state regulation until the introduction of competition in the late 1980s and 1990s. Although the electric and natural gas industries continue to be subject to less pervasive regulation, new antitrust issues and concerns about "market manipulation" have become the focus of scrutiny in the electric, natural gas, and petroleum industries. This third edition of the Energy Antitrust Handbook presents a guide to an industry that has great importance to the U.S. economy. It is written to assist energy, regulatory, and antitrust lawyers in understanding the multilayered complexity of this field by providing a basic background on antitru…

Throughout its life, federal antitrust law has been subject to literally dozens of limitations. Specific statutory exemptions have existed since 1914 and currently about 30 of them remain in force. Antitrust is likewise limited by several distinct, voluminous bodies of caselaw that set out judicially created exemptions, to shield politics, labor, and a broad range of industries subject to other regulation. Several of these doctrines have become complex and uncertain. The scope of antitrust, in other words, now comprises a substantial body of law in its own right. This new Handbook on the Scope of Antitrust offers a first-of-its-kind, user-friendly solution in the form of a one-stop, black-letter-focused book of practical guidance on all exemptions and immunities issues, treating them in an integrated fashion as components of one body of law.

Cartel issues arise in a variety of settings and industries and increasingly without regard to jurisdictional boundaries. Many jurisdictions have granted their competition authorities broad jurisdictional reach and provided them with aggressive investigative tools, such as wiretap authority and compulsory process. There is also a burgeoning movement to criminalize cartel activity in places where it has previously been regarded as wholly or principally a civil or administrative matter. And the global proliferation of leniency programs continues to radically destabilize cartels, creating powerful incentives for institutions to turn against their co-conspirators. This first edition of the International Antitrust Cartel Handbook is a vital reference for both new and experienced antitrust practitioners navigating the increasingly complex global cartel enforcement environment. It brings together leading cartel practitioners from around the world to address the critical issues that arise th…

Until very recently, U.S. manufacturing had been in decline for more than a generation. The great manufacturing juggernaut that defined the country from around the middle of the 19th century until the last quarter of the 20th became a dim memory. But that's changing. Manufacturing is on the rebound, and the tide is getting stronger. U.S. manufacturers are outpacing their global rivals due to increased domestic demand, an export surge, worker's rights and pollution problems overseas, cheap energy, and headwinds facing foreign competitors. Manufacturing Business and the Law examines the history of U.S. industry; the laws, regulations, and guidelines governing it now; the legal careers being created and getting those jobs; how to immerse yourself in an industry and become the lawyer your company needs; and where and how manufacturing will continue to grow.

Market Definition in Antitrust: Issues and Case Studies provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues involved in defining markets in antitrust cases.

The first chapter provides an overview of the theoretical concept of a relevant market.

Like the first edition, the second edition of The Market Power Handbook provides a comprehensive review of the legal and economic issues that arise in relation to the core antitrust concept of market power. It is designed to serve as a nontechnical resource rather than an economic text, but nonetheless provides an introduction to and summary of the economic concepts that are critical to an understanding of market power. The Handbook begins with the definition of market power and an introduction to the role market power plays in plays in cases brought under the principal antitrust statutes. Following chapters discuss the fundamental economic doctrines related to market power, the role of market power in market definition, and the measurement and interpretation of market share…

Every case brought under Section 1 of the Sherman Act requires proof of an agreement, and the new second edition of Proof of Conspiracy Under Federal Antitrust Laws is a required reference for antitrust practitioners. Proving an agreement under the requirements of the antitrust laws can be complicated. Agreements may take many forms. They may be express or implied, formal or informal, concrete or flexible, simple or complex, written, spoken, or even entered with a "wink of the eye." This book presents simple and understandable guidance that sets forth the current state of the law for proving such agreements. Proof of Conspiracy Under Federal Antitrust Laws discusses the use of direct and indirect evidence to get at the heart of what constitutes an agreement—or as the Supreme Court has termed it a "commitment to a common scheme"—at every stage in litigation. The book includes a careful analysis of the dramatic changes the United States Supreme Court has made to antitrust…

"This book discusses the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) Articles 3, 4, and 4A in detail. It also explains to what extent provisions and interpretive cases decided prior to the promulgation of Article 4A and prior to the 1990 revision of Articles 3 and 4 are still useful, and why changes made were needed. It discusses issues not generally recognized and treated elsewhere, including the meaning of the new standard of good faith, the relation between 'accountability' and 'final payment,' and consequences of radical truncation. In addition to the discussion of payment Articles in the Uniform Commercial Code, the book contains up to date discussion of other payment systems like credit and debit card systems, and other payment methods including prepaid cards, PayPal, mobile payments, and virtual currency transfers." - publisher's description

"This [book] will give students a comprehensive introduction to the Uniform Commercial Code without burdening them with unnecessary detail: Articles 1 and 2 (sales), Articles 3, 4, 4A and 5 (payment systems), and Article 9 (secured transactions), as well as related statutes, amendments, regulations, and operating rules. The new edition deals not only with the 1999 revisions to Article 9 but also with the recent revisions to Article 1. This edition also addresses the earlier revisions to Articles 5, 3, and 4. It has limited coverage of the failed attempt to revise Article 2. A reference volume relied on by students, courts, and business lawyers for decades, the 7th Edition has been updated in light of modern practice and provides a useful resource for students and practitioners dealing with issues in sales, contracts, secured transactions, and payment systems." - publisher's description
