This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical discussions among competition lawyers and economists on the approach to Resale resale Price price Maintenance maintenance (RPM) and Vertical vertical Territorial territorial Restrictions restrictions (VTR) have often caused controversy. However, commentators agree that there is a lack of comprehensive study surrounding the topic. This book explores these two forms of anticompetitive conduct from legal, historical, economical, and theoretical points of view, focusing on the EU and US experiences. The author expertly goes beyond the current legal practice to explain, among other things, what approach should apply to RPM and VTR, and why RPM and VTR are introduced in situations where procompetitive theories would not make economic sense, or do not apply in practice. The book takes account of economic values, such as efficiency and welfare, as well as other values, such as freedom, fairness and free competition. Scholars and students of law will find the book’s depth of legal, economic and historical analysis to be a rich contribution to the scholarship. This book will also be of use to EU and US practitioners, and enforcers dealing with RPM and VTR cases.

This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition law regulates anti-competitive conduct by companies in order to maintain market competition. Cartel law can also cause restraints of competition and therefore, the existing regulations should be checked, revised and updated regularly. This book deals with the prohibition of Resale Price Maintenance, which is intensively discussed in Germany at the moment. It provides a new interdisciplinary approach to the topic that emphasizes the empirically observable marketing perspective, but draws conclusions from competition theory. Thus it reflects on the consumer benefits and welfare effects of RPM legalization at the same time. Since it provides new and constructive class-based suggestions for a re-design of European cartel law, this book should be valuable for researchers, practitioners and politicians. ​

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of how to properly enforce against RPM has been a contentious debate for decades on both sides of the Atlantic. The catalyst is the acceptance that RPM can generate both anti-competitive effects and pro-competitive efficiencies that need to be properly balanced to ensure against Type I/Type II errors and to create viable legislation. Part I focuses on 100 years of US origins and the current legal approach to VR enforcement, which reveals the precedent responsible for the transition between per se illegality and the rule of reason thresholds at the federal level. Nine anti-competitive and 19 pro-competitive theoretical models are also introduced to clearly demonstrate the true nonconsensus existent between economists as to whether RPM is deleterious enough to justify a stringent approach to RPM regulation. Part II closely examines the EU origins and current legal structure, where RPM has maintained its hardcore by-object designation pursuant to Art. 101(1) TFEU with the consequence of having no safe harbours, no applicability of the De Minimus Doctrine, an onerous negative rebuttable presumption, non-severability of the agreement and almost no chance of obtaining an exemption under Art. 101(3). This is exacerbated by the EC’s lack of guidance on how to prove all conditions necessary for an Art. 101(3) exemption and when a vertical arrangement actually escapes Art. 101(1) applicability. The aim of this book is to examine the economic models, historical origins and legal structures of the US/EU regimes to develop proposals on how to modify the EU’s current legal structure to ensure proper enforcement of RPM behaviour that actually enhances legal certainty through a more aligned approach at the national level. Part III proposes five solutions which scrutinise the concepts of appreciability, hardcore and by-object restraints, to implement modifications to EU’s current legal framework to ensure RPM receives reasonable and equitable treatment in line with economic theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section I of the Sherman Act condemns and declares illegal "every restraint, combination in form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States." Under the Sherman Act, agreements to fix prices between natural competitors, e.g., retailers or manufacturers, are illegal per se. So-called horizontal price-fixing agreements of this nature do not require analysis by courts to determine whether or not they damage competition because they have been declared illegal by their very nature, i.e., per se. Vertical price-fixing and vertical price restraints, e.g., agreements between manufacturers and distributors which set a minimum price at which a product can be sold, were similarly declared illegal per se in 1911 by the United States Supreme Court in the famous Dr. Miles case. Generally, most other agreements or actions which are not illegal per se but are alleged to be in violation of the Sherman Act are judged by what is known as the rule of reason. Basically, the rule of reason doctrine requires analysis of an alleged violation and the weighing of all circumstances and factors to determine whether a restriction on trade or competition unreasonably restrains competition. Those that do not unreasonably restrain competition are permitted. In 2007, ninety-six years after they established the Dr. Miles rule for vertical restraints, the Supreme Court considered again the question of how agreements between manufacturers and distributors setting minimum prices should be viewed, i.e., under the rule of reason or per se illegal. The following article analyzes the landmark decision.
