January 26, 2009 | San Francisco
| Grand Hyatt San Francisco
Duane Morris partner Glenn B. Manishin will be speaking at the American Conference Institute's (ACI) Summit on Technology Antitrust Law: Avoiding and Protecting Against Anticompetitive Conduct in the Global Economy, to be held on January 26-27, 2009, in San Francisco, California. Mr. Manishin is speaking during a session titled "Partnership Case Study: Analyzing Concerns Raised by Internet Search Market Alliances" on Monday, January 26, at 10:45 a.m.
The recent decision by two major industry players to partner on advertising is attracting a high level of scrutiny. This timely session will provide a detailed examination of how such arrangements are analyzed within the framework of applicable antitrust laws. Included will be discussion of:
- Weighing how the deal potentially impacts on prices (for online ads)
- Identifying any benefits to consumers
- Understanding the scope of the Department of Justice's investigation who is being contacted
- What types of documents are requested
- Analysis of the congressional inquiry
- Assessing whether the companies collaborating will still have any incentive to compete with each other
About the ACI Summit on Technology Antitrust Law
At ACI's Summit on Technology Antitrust Law, people who have been on the front line of this recent onslaught of scrutiny will explain where the greatest risks are, and what they are doing to protect their companies. You will meet people from the companies that have been in the headlines, and learn from their experiences. Speakers from the EU and from Asia will share their critical knowledge of diverging international enforcement priorities and regulations. Officials from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice will provide invaluable feedback on the matters that are looked at most critically by government enforcers and regulators. With the new administration in Washington, the new law in China and the increase in global enforcement, Technology Antitrust Law will be the best opportunity to learn where things are heading from the people who successfully navigate through this complex area.
