In this edition of Competition, we showcase articles from an impressive line-up of antitrust thought leaders who share their views on the topics the California Law Review Commission (CLRC) is currently studying. Broadly, the CLRC is evaluating whether the Cartwright Act should be revised: to outlaw monopolies by single companies; in the context of technology companies; or in any other fashion.
This volume is organized by topic, starting off with four articles that discuss whether California law should be revised to outlaw monopolies by single companies. We then move into a robust discussion on the second topic — whether the Cartwright Act should be revised in the context of technology companies — in the next four articles. The third section includes five articles that cover a range of other ways it might be suitable to amend (or not amend) specific provisions of the Cartwright Act, including merger regulation and restrictive employment contracts.
SHOULD THE CARTWRIGHT ACT BE REVISED TO OUTLAW MONOPOLIES BY SINGLE COMPANIES?
