versenytárgyalási folyamat során.
Ügyletkötés elutasítása – Megállapodás
egy versenytárssal arra vonatkozóan, hogy

Закон Шермана:
• запрещает соглашения, которые необоснованно
ограничивают торговлю (включая фиксирование
цен, ограничение объема производства,
распределение покупателей или территорий
между конкурентами, коллективные бойкоты
и некоторые ограничения распределения и
лицензирования);
• объявляет незаконными монополии, а также
попытки и сговоры с целью монополизации (даже
безуспешные).

когда ожидается участие в деятельности, несущей
риски в антимонопольной сфере, на территории
США или за ее пределами, необходимо заранее
консультироваться с юридическим отделом

«Сговор на торгах» — когда вступившие в
сговор конкуренты заранее договариваются
о том, кто подаст выигрышную заявку на
заключение контракта при проведении
конкурсных торгов.
Избегайте
ненужного взаимодействия с конкурентами.
2.

Um Acordo de venda casada é uma prática que
envolve o condicionamento da venda de um
produto à concordância do cliente de também
comprar um produto “casado” diferente.
