On the contrary, trade associations act in the public interest because they collect and bundle information from members and enable them to speak with one voice. "

“Such activities do not raise antitrust concerns. Although they are coordinated with members (or the members coordinate among themselves), they are not related to members' market activities. On the contrary - industry associations act in the public interest because they collect and bundle information from members and enable them to speak with one language. "
