Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) early warnings were issued against the applications from Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. The warnings, issued by the representative of Australia and GAC Chair Heather Dryden, indicated concern that the applicants were "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string.. that relates to a broad market sector," and noted potential negative impacts on competition.
Usage and Audience
