On July 9, 2014, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced
that, pursuant to Section 5 of the FTC Act, it had approved two
final orders settling charges that two ski equipment
manufacturers—Market Volko (International) and Tecnica Group
S.p.A—agreed for many years not to compete for one
another's ski endorsers or employees. The FTC's complaint
alleges that starting in 2004, the companies agreed not to solicit,
recruit or contact any skier who previously endorsed the other
company's skis, and that the companies reached similar
agreements with respect to each other's employees.
The FTC's case file is available here.
