• holding that “[e]conomic analysis [in anti-trust context] is virtually meaningless if it is entirely unmoored from at least a rough definition of a product and geographic market”
• holding that “[i]t stretches reason to interpret ‘legal action’ as ‘any activity of a lawyer’ when it is used in daily parlance to mean a lawsuit or legal proceeding.”
• noting that an \interlocutory appeal is not intended as a 'second bite at the apple' that allows the moving party to reargue issues that the court has already addressed and rejected\
• noting that exclusive dealing can “eliminate[] divided loyalties and reduee[] free riding” (citing Roland Mach., 749 F.2d at 395)
• ordering eight-fold reduction of presumed damages when initial award was excessive considering the offered evidence of harm
