Except as otherwise provided in this Act— the Commission shall enforce this Act in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all applicable terms of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 41 et seq. ) were incorporated into and made a part of this Act; the Attorney General shall enforce this Act in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers and duties as though all applicable terms of the Sherman Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1 et seq. ), Clayton Act ( 15 U.S.C. 12 et seq. ), and Antitrust Civil Process Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1311 et seq. ) were incorporated into and made a part of this Act; and any attorney general of a State shall enforce this Act in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers and duties as though all applicable terms of the Sherman Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1 et seq. ) and the Clayton Act ( 15 U.S.C. 12 et seq. ) were incorporated into and made a part of this Act.
A violation of this Act shall also constitute an unfair method of competition under section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 45 ). If the Commission has reason to believe that a person violated this Act, the Commission may commence a civil action, in its own name by any of its attorneys designated by it for such purpose, to recover a civil penalty and seek other appropriate relief in a district court of the United States. Any attorney general of a State may bring a civil action in the name of such State for a violation of this Act as parens patriae on behalf of natural persons residing in such State, in any district court of the United States having jurisdiction of the defendant, and may secure any form of relief provided for in this section.
The Assistant Attorney General of the Antitrust Division, the Commission, or the attorney general of any State may seek, and the court may order, relief in equity as necessary to prevent, restrain, or prohibit violations of this Act. Remedies provided in this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy available under Federal or State law.
