Comment from the American Antitrust Institute

Summary: The American Antitrust Institute (AAI) supports the issuance of revised guidelines for business collaborations, urging the agencies to preserve key themes of the 2000 Guidelines while updating them with modern economic and legal scholarship. They recommend specific drafting principles, such as using plain language, eliminating "safety zones," and clarifying the application of the rule of reason and the ancillary restraints doctrine.
