	Federal Trade Commision
		In some of its first decisions, however, the commission found that the two interests were not mutually exclusive, since it was possible to steal business from a competitor by deceiving consumers.
		Consequently, the commission's oversight of competition generally involves enforcement of the Sherman and Clayton Acts, as well as the Robinson-Patman Act.
		The new definition of "unfairness" permits the commission to regulate marketing practices that (1) cause or are likely to cause substantial injury to consumers, (2) are not reasonably avoidable by consumers, and (3) are not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition.

		Like the FTC Act, the UTPA prohibits "[u]nfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce" and addresses both consumer protection and anticompetitive behavior in the marketplace.
		Logically, although the consumer report may have affected trade or commerce by turning potential customers away from the plaintiff, the defendant was not directly engaged in trade or commerce, rather, it was simply reporting the news.
		Despite the fact that the UTPA's scope is not strictly tied to the FTC Act and that South Carolina courts are free to find methods, acts or practices not previously declared unlawful by the FTC or the Federal courts, the courts have not strayed wildly from FTC Act interpretations.
