Konkurrenceankenævnet har stadfæstet, at den største distributør af adresseløse forsendelser i Danmark, FK Distribution, har misbrugt sin dominerende stilling. Distributøren har haft en adfærd, der kunne afskære konkurrenter fra det voksende marked for digital visning af tilbudsaviser i Danmark.

Konkurrencerådet har den 30. juni 2020 truffet afgørelse i en sag, der angår, om FK Distributions vilkår om koblingssalg over for kunder i 2018 til oktober 2019 udgjorde et misbrug af dominerende stilling i strid med konkurrencelovens § 11, stk. 1, jf. stk. 3, nr. 4, og TEUF artikel 102, stk. 2, litra d. Konkurrencerådet fandt, at Forbruger-Kontakt havde overtrådt forbuddet mod misbrug af dominerende stilling ved via p-enheden FK Distribution at stille det som betingelse for at indgå en aftale om distribution af adresseløse forsendelser i Danmark, at kunderne godkendte tillægsydelser i form af digital formidling af kundens tilbudsaviser via www.minetilbud.dk, minetilbud-appen og øvrige platforme drevet af FK Distribution. Ved afgørelsen påbød Konkurrencerådet Forbruger-Kontakt bl.a. straks at bringe overtrædelsen til ophør, såfremt dette ikke allerede var sket, jf. konkurrencelovens § 11, stk. 4, 1. pkt., jf. § 16 og TEUF artikel 102, jf.

IP Europe and Innovation Alliance Welcome IEEE’s Review of 2015 Patent Policy and Urge Removal of Unbalanced Language

IP Europe and the Innovation Alliance welcome the IEEE’s move to revisit its unbalanced 2015 patent policy.

Ideally, this process will result in revision or removal of the IEEE’s unprecedented “reasonable rate” and

“prohibitive order” provisions. In our opinion, this review is long overdue. The review comes against a backdrop of growing global consensus that, first, injunctive relief should issue to SEP owners facing hold-out strategies, and, second, SEP licenses should reflect the value contributed by the technology to the end product and user.

Løn og arbejdsforhold i Konkurrenceretten – Hvor står vi nu? Af Christian Bergqvist

Det er traditionelt antaget, at konkurrenceretten ikke reguler løn- og arbejdsforhold og derfor ikke rammer fx kollektive overenskomster. Hverken indholdet heraf eller processen med at indgå dem via strejke og lockout.

Som altid er realiteterne mere komplekse, da undtagelsen snævert er knyttet til det konkurrenceretlige lønmodtagerbegreb. Et begreb i opbrud, hvilket skaber konflikter og har fanget konkurrencemyndighedernes interesse.
