À titre d’exemple, si un donneur de licence limite la concurrence entre ses preneurs, qui n’étaient pas des concurrents réels ou potentiels avant la conclusion de l’accord, la concurrence (potentielle) qui aurait pu exister entre les preneurs en l’absence de ces restrictions est restreinte.
For instance, where a licensor restricts its licensees, who were not actual or potential competitors before the agreement, from competing with each other, (potential) competition that could have existed between the licensees in the absence of the restraints is restricted.
