ICN Guidance proposed on unilateral conduct

The Annual Conference of the International Competition Network which finished earlier this month in Moscow seems to have been a success.

Interestingly for us, further work is proposed on unilateral conduct. Significant analysis by commentators (Philip Marsden in particular) has considered the challenges in creating one standard for unilateral anticompetitive conduct. However, the topic has long been a focus of the ICN. Another organisation to watch with interest: will they echo the FTC/DoJ report? Will IP receive a full analysis? Will enforcement be considered as well as refusal to license?
