Abstract
The article analyzes the problem of improving antitrust regulation of digital ecosystems. The beginning of the antimonopoly regulation of digital markets in Russia was laid by the Federal Law of 10.07.2023 No. 301-FZ "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition". According to the author, the legal mechanisms enshrined in this Law are not enough to ensure a systematic approach to regulating the digital economy and, in particular, digital ecosystems.
The objectives of the work are: analysis of doctrinal approaches to the essence and content of the digital ecosystem; justification of the need for further legislative work in the field of supplementing existing antimonopoly requirements in terms of regulating the activities of business entities in digital markets. The author proposed a definition of the concept of a digital ecosystem, taking into account the needs of antitrust regulation.
