State Enforcement


Welcome



Welcome to the webpage of the State Enforcement Committee. Our Committee monitors and reports on recent developments in state antitrust and consumer protection enforcement. We examine current and possible future state enforcement practices and initiatives, and evaluate the significance of these activities from the perspectives of state enforcers, private plaintiffs, defense counsel and the business community.


The Committee's programming includes brown bag presentations on state antitrust enforcement in national and international cases, state consumer protection enforcement, disparities between federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws, sponsorship of the annual "Breakfast with State Antitrust Enforcers" at the Section's Spring Meeting, and sponsorship of other Spring Meeting programs.


The Committee publishes a newsletter semi-annually, and is responsible for sections related to state antitrust enforcement in Antitrust Law Developments and its annual updates. The Committee publishes a State Antitrust Enforcement Handbook, which was updated in 2008. It has also revised Proving Antitrust Damages, first published in 1996.


To keep members informed of recent developments in state enforcement, the Committee maintains an active listserv. We also have a social media presence on LinkedIn.


The Committee administers the State Enforcer Participation Enhancement Grants. These grants, which are designed to facilitate active involvement by state enforcers in the Section’s activities, provide funds to travel to Section programs. For more information about these grants, please follow the link on the right.


We welcome participation, so if you'd like to get involved in the Committee - whether by writing an article for the newsletter, suggesting a topic for a brownbag, contributing commentary to our listserv, or becoming active in any other way - please get in touch with any of our Chairs, Vice-Chairs, or Young Lawyer representatives. We look forward to hearing from you!

Battling IT Theft and Unfair Competition: Enforcers Use A New Approach
June 26, 2013
The California, Massachusetts and Washington AG offices recently announced innovative enforcement actions using their unfair competition statutes against manufacturers in Thailand, India and China who lowered their costs by using stolen technology and competed unfairly against law-abiding companies in their states. Other AG offices and the FTC have also expressed interest in this area. A panel of experts will discuss these cases and the growing trend to combat unfair competition from overseas manufacturers by discouraging the theft of US technology.
