Terry Calvani and Angela Diveley on Injury to Competition and Efficiencies in Section 5 Claims

We welcome Commissioner Wright’s contribution in making the important point that the Commission’s unfair methods of competition (UMC) jurisdiction under Section 5 of the FTCA should be subject to limiting principles.  We make two observations about the policy statement and a more general observation about the FTC in light of its upcoming 100th anniversary.  The ...

Tim Wu on Section 5 Guidelines Would Make the FTC Stronger and Better

I personally believe that a policy statement on Section 5 would be a very good thing for the Federal Trade Commission, especially over the long run.  I think it would strengthen the agency, renew its distinct sense of purpose, and clarify the jobs of the attorneys who enforce the competition laws on a day-to-day basis. ...

Thom Lambert on Guidelines for the FTC’s UMC Authority: What’s Clear and What’s Not?

In the last few weeks, two members of the FTC—Commissioners Josh Wright and Maureen Ohlhausen—have staked largely consistent positions on guidelines for implementation of the Commission’s “unfair methods of competition” (UMC) authority.  Their statements make two points that are, in my opinion, no-brainers.  Where the statements conflict, they raise an issue worthy of significant contemplation.  ...

Dan Crane on Section 5 and Principles of Self-Restraint

I’m delighted that Josh and Maureen have launched a concerted effort to have the FTC articulate clear principles for Section 5 enforcement.  My own views on the proper scope of Section 5 are articulated in my book The Institutional Structure of Antitrust Enforcement.  I won’t attempt a comprehensive regurgitation here, but just offer three quick ... Dan Crane on Section 5 and Principles of Self-Restraint

Joe Sims on First Principles of Section 5 Authority

I find that discussions on antitrust policy, if they are not to devolve into simple recitations of preferred industrial policy, are most focused when grounded in first principles and, frequently, a little history.  So a few words on both with respect to Section 5, starting with the history. The FTC Act, in addition to being ... Joe Sims on First Principles of Section 5 Authority

The Final Order in the FTC’s Google standard-essential patents case and the continuing danger to standard-setting

On July 24, the Federal Trade Commission issued a modified complaint and consent order in the Google/Motorola case. The FTC responded to the 25 comments on the proposed Order by making several amendments, but the Final Order retains the original order’s essential restrictions on injunctions, as the FTC explains in a letter accompanying the changes. ...

TOTM Blog Symposium Thursday, Aug. 1: Regulating the Regulators–Guidance for the FTC’s Section 5 Unfair Methods of Competition Authority

Section 5 of the FTC Act permits the agency to take enforcement actions against companies that use “unfair or deceptive acts or practices” or that employ “unfair methods of competition.” The Act doesn’t specify what these terms mean, instead leaving that determination to the FTC itself.  In the 1980s, under intense pressure from Congress, the Commission ...

The Value of Injunctions — Douglas Dynamics v. Buyers Products Co. (Fed. Cir. May 21, 2013)

Over at the blog for the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property, I posted a short essay discussing the Federal Circuit’s recent decision in Douglas Dynamics v. Buyers Products (Fed. Cir. May 21, 2013).  Here’s a small taste: The Federal Circuit’s recent decision in Douglas Dynamics, LLC, v. Buyers Products Co. (Fed. Cir. May ... The Value of Injunctions — Douglas Dynamics v.

Why the ITC is actually a good place to adjudicate standard-essential patents

Over at Law360 I have a piece on patent enforcement at the ITC (gated), focusing on the ITC’s two Apple-Samsung cases: one in which the the ITC issued a final determination in which it found Apple to have infringed one of Samsung’s 3G-related SEPs, and the other (awaiting a final determination from the Commission) in which ...

Why I think the Apple e-books antitrust decision will (or at least should) be overturned

On July 10 a federal judge ruled that Apple violated antitrust law by conspiring to raise prices of e-books when it negotiated deals with five major publishers. I’ve written on the case and the issues involved in it several times, including here, here, here and here. The most recent of these was titled, “Why I ...

The .AMAZON TLD, cultural identity and competition regulation at ICANN

The ridiculousness currently emanating from ICANN and the NTIA (see these excellent posts from Milton Mueller and Eli Dourado on the issue) over .AMAZON, .PATAGONIA and other “geographic”/commercial TLDs is precisely why ICANN (and, apparently, the NTIA) is a problematic entity as a regulator. The NTIA’s response to ICANN’s Governmental Advisory Committee’s (GAC) objection to Amazon’s application for the .AMAZON TLD ... The .AMAZON TLD, cultural identity and competition regulation at ICANN
