Dear Readers,

This summer, the August 2020 Antipasto edition of the Chronicle features articles from members of the CPI Editorial Advisory Board.

This compilation of articles covers a variety of jurisdictions and a diversity of antitrust topics including the regulation of multisided platforms, the acquisition of foreign-subsidized companies and merger information requests in the EU, and the treatment of non-compete clauses and hub-and spoke infringements in China, among others.

We are pleased to kick off this CPI Antitrust Antipasto edition with a CPI Talks… interview with Mr. Ian Conner of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Looking forward, our August and September Chronicles will feature contributions from U.S. State AGs, and discussions of the failing firm defense, and price gouging.

Lastly, please take the opportunity to visit the CPI website and listen to our selection of Chronicle articles in audio form from such esteemed authors as Maureen Ohlhausen, Herbert Hovenkamp, Richard Gilbert, Nicholas Banasevic, Randal Picker, Giorgio Monti, Alison Jones, and William Kovacic among others. This is a convenient way for our readers to keep up with our recent and past articles on the go, at home, or at the beach.

As always, thank you to our great panel of authors.

Sincerely,

CPI Team
