Supreme People's Court Releases 2026 Typical Antitrust Cases

The Supreme People's Court has recently released typical cases, providing important guidance for judicial practice.

In typical cases, cases involving exclusive dealing on digital platforms have drawn significant attention. Courts have held that platform operators with market dominance requiring merchants to choose only one platform violate the Antitrust Law.

In vertical monopoly agreement cases, courts have clarified the standards for determining resale price maintenance. Manufacturers may not force downstream operators to comply with minimum resale prices.

These cases provide clear legal guidance for enterprises in developing their business strategies. Companies should prioritize antitrust compliance and regularly assess their market practices.
