High Order Bit: The Case
summary
Competition policy focuses on three concrete areas: monopolization, mergers, and agreements among competitors, with enforcement aimed at stopping exclusionary conduct not punishing dominance earned on merit. Recent signals include 15 monopolization cases over 25 years and Europe’s €1 billion Intel fine. Merger practice requires filing deals over $65M; of roughly 1,600 deals reported last year only 70 get investigated and 14 face enforcement. Guidance updates (1992 guidelines under review) and business review letters clarify standards and FRAND patent licensing.
