Inter-brand competition

Inter-brand competition in the European Union Law

Concept of Inter-brand competition provided by the “Glossary of terms used in EU competition policy” (Antitrust and control of concentrations, published in 2002): Competition between firms that have developed brands or labels for their products in order to distinguish them from other brands sold in the same market segment. Although not perceived as being fully equivalent by consumers, branded products nevertheless compete with each other, but normally to a lesser degree. Coca-Cola versus Pepsi is an example of inter-brand competition.
