This part does not limit the Federal Trade Commission’s other enforcement powers, change antitrust law, or preempt State law. It gives “antitrust laws” the meaning supplied by the specified Clayton Act provision, with one stated addition.
(a) Other Commission authority. Nothing in this part limits or affects the Federal Trade Commission’s authority to bring an enforcement action or take another measure under the Federal Trade Commission Act or any other law. (b) Antitrust law. This part does not modify, impair, or replace the antitrust laws. Here, “antitrust laws” has the meaning given in section 12(a) of the Clayton Act, except that it also includes section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to the extent that section concerns unfair methods of competition. This section does not define “antitrust laws” beyond that cross-reference. (c) State* law. This part does not preempt any State law.
Nothing in this part limits or affects the authority of the Federal Trade Commission to bring an enforcement action or take any other measure under the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) or any other provision of law.
Nothing in this part shall be construed to modify, impair, or supersede the operation of any of the antitrust laws. For purposes of this subsection, the term “antitrust laws” shall have the meaning given it in subsection (a) of the first section of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 12), except that it includes section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45) to the extent that such section 5 applies to unfair methods of competition.
