North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal Trade Commission : ウィキペディア英語版 | North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal Trade Commission
''North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal Trade Commission'' was a United States Supreme Court case on the scope of immunity from US antitrust law. The Supreme Court held that a state licensing board that was primarily composed of persons active in the market it regulates only has immunity from antitrust law when it is actively supervised by the state. The North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners had relied on the Parker immunity doctrine, established by the Supreme Court case ''Parker v. Brown'', which held that actions by state governments acting in their sovereignty did not violate antitrust law. ==Background== North Carolina legislation had designated the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners (NCBDE) to be "the agency of the State for the regulation of the practice of dentistry"〔 and required that six of the eight members of the NCBDE must be licensed, practicing dentists. Acting upon complaints by dentists, the NCBDE issued cease-and-desist orders to non-dentists offering teeth whitening services and teeth whitening product manufacturers, often warning that the unlicensed practice of dentistry is a crime. These orders prompted many non-dentists to stop offering these services in North Carolina.〔 The Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint alleging that the NCBDE's actions were anti-competitive and unlawful under the Federal Trade Commission Act. An administrative law judge refused to dismiss the complaint on the NCBDE's claim that they had state-action immunity and later ruled that the NCSBDE unreasonably acted in restraint of trade in their actions, falling afoul of antitrust law.〔 The ruling was sustained by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.〔 Oral arguments were held on October 14, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/north-carolina-board-of-dental-examiners-v-federal-trade-commission/ )〕
