“VIE困局”迎来转机！反垄断局首次批准涉VIE架构的反垄断申报
By King & Wood
2020年7月16日，国家市场监督管理总局反垄断局（“反垄断局”）批准了“上海明察哲刚管理咨询有限公司与环胜信息技术（上海）有限公司新设合营企业案”（“明察哲刚案”）。虽然该案作为简易案件于4月20日立案，但据报道，由于上海明察哲刚管理咨询有限公司（“明察哲刚”）在相关市场的细分领域份额较高[1]，该案未能如同大多数简易案件在第一阶段完成审查，而是进入审查第二阶段，最终经过共计88天审查方获得批准，远远超出2020年第一季度简易案件的平均审查时间[2]。

同源不同判？由三起原料药反垄断执法案件对比说起
By King & Wood
随着新冠肺炎疫情在全球蔓延，各国对相关药品的需求不断增加，原料药的供应短缺问题也再一次受到国际社会的空前关注。原料药垄断一直是我国反垄断执法机构重点关注的对象。截至目前，在反垄断执法机构查处二十余起药品行业案件中，近一半涉及原料药。原料药经营者之间的关系以及行为多样复杂，导致反垄断执法机构就不同原料药垄断行为的处罚认定思路也存在一定差异。葡萄糖酸钙案、异烟肼原料药案以及艾司唑仑案就是三起较为典型的执法案例。在这三起案件中，虽然涉案当事方的行为均造成了原料药价格上涨的后果，但反垄断执法机构对于处罚主体以及违法行为的认定却各不相同。我们将以此文对比分析上述三个案件，以期为相关原料药企业的反垄断合规提供指引。
