Industry associations play a pivotal role in safeguarding market competition orders;how-ever,their eligibility as plaintiffs in anti-unfair competition lawsuits is often questioned.The crux of the controversy lies in identifying industry associations as operators and determining the competitive relation-ships with perpetrators of unfair competition and their direct stake in the case.It is suggested that industry associations engaged in revenue-generating activities or services be regarded as operators under the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.Competitive relationships should be assessed based on a special,broad sense of competition.If there is a direct,indirect,or such special,broad sense of competition,it can be concluded that the industry association has a direct stake in the perpetrator of unfair competition.
