The compilation of antitrust rules also includes the Antitrust Guidelines for the Use of Intellectual Property Rights (the IPR guidelines).
Similar to the auto guidelines, the IPR guidelines set at 30% market share safe harbour for vertical agreements. The IPR guidelines also put forward a 20% market share safe harbour for horizontal agreements. It should, however, be noted, that both safe harbours only apply to conduct not specifically prohibited by the Anti-Monopoly Law (AML), hence cartel-types of agreements and resale price maintenance (RPM) cannot benefit from these safe harbours.
