Fair Trade Law Q&A - General Provisions

What conduct is exempt from the Fair Trade Act? How does the Fair Trade Act apply when it is concurrent with other laws?

1. The legitimate exercise of rights under the Copyright Act, the Trademark Act, or the Patent Act shall not be subject to the Fair Trade Act.
2. Where other laws specifically govern the competitive conduct of enterprises, such laws shall prevail to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the legislative purposes of the Fair Trade Act.
