How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that alleged injury to a competitor alone was insufficient to establish harm to competition
- commenting that \standing should not become the tail wagging the dog in `classic' antitrust cases such as this one by an alleged excluded competitor.\
- explaining that a description of relevant market, including availability of competitor substitutes, is of critical importance
- explaining “antitrust injury for standing purposes should be viewed from the perspective of the plaintiff’s position in the marketplace”
- observing that a 58 R. Doc. 54-1 at 7. 59 Id. at 8. 60 Id. at 7. 61 R. Doc. 63 at 4. plaintiff must identify “where consumers could turn for alternative products or sources of the product if a competitor raises prices”
- finding antitrust injury, for purposes of standing, was aptly demonstrated by plaintiff, a direct competitor of the alleged monopolist who colluded with a third party to remove plaintiff from the relevant market and weaken its competitive state
