Event Synopsis:

With a 4-1 vote, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released a Statement of Enforcement Principles on "Unfair Methods of Competition" under Section 5 of the FTC Act in August 2015. The statement will guide FTC's decision whether to exercise its statutory authority to take action against conduct under Section 5 unfair methods of competition that would not necessarily violate the Sherman or Clayton Acts.

• History of Section 5 Enforcement
• Substantive Constraints on FTC Authority
• Criticism of FTC’s Use of Section 5
• Scope of Conduct Typically Deemed an Unfair Method of Competition
