PREFACE

The Unilateral Conduct Committee is pleased to present this Second

Edition of the Monopolization and Dominance Handbook.

Monopolization and abuse of dominance issues are increasingly at the

forefront of competition law enforcement discussions throughout the

world. Since the initial release of the Handbook in 2011, the outer bounds

of monopolization law have been refined through a larger body of case law

in the United States. Similarly, in jurisdictions outside the United States,

monopolization or abuse of dominance enforcement has been active as

well. The Second Edition provides an updated overview of

monopolization law in the United States. It also contains illustrative

comparative discussions of the approaches to dominance issues in other

jurisdictions, which highlight the complexities that can be involved in

practicing in this area.

The Second Edition is the result of the hard work and contributions of

many. The Committee is particularly indebted to Justin Hedge and

Dominic Vote, the project chairs, for their outstanding efforts. We also

thank the lead chapter authors and editors James Abell, Logan Breed,

Derek Moore, Jeffery Prisbrey, Joshua Soven, Howard Ullman, and

Daniel Weick, as well as W. Michael Osborne, Dylan Young, Jamie Long,

Tanya Freeman and Saman Adikari for their assistance with the

manuscript.
