AIM ANTI-TRUST POLICY & POLICY on COLLABORATION and WORK PRODUCT
AIM Anti-Trust Policy
It is the policy of the AIM Inc. to conduct its operations in strict compliance with the antitrust laws. No AIM activities shall create even the appearance of a violation of the letter or spirit of the antitrust laws. This policy prohibits any discussion at AIM’s meetings of unpublished commercial terms of sales, unannounced product development or unpublished cost and revenue data of a member. It is not appropriate for members to discuss competitive business terms with an intent to explicitly or implicitly form an agreement or understanding which restricts the exercise of independent business judgement, especially with regard to price, selection of customers, and markets in which it competes.
All attendees are permitted and encouraged to actively participate in all meeting discussions and activities as defined in the AIM Member Participation and Collaborative Guidelines. If any participant believes the group is drifting toward impermissible discussion, the topic shall be tabled until the opinion of counsel can be obtained.
