Williams v. Peel

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding no misappropriation under the distinct circumstance where Dow Jones had ceded the right to preclude trading on its ETFs by selling them to the public
• finding no misappropriation because, unlike in Board of Trade, Dow Jones had “licensed the creation of ETFs and the sale of their shares to the public, and ISE [was] simply creating a mechanism for trading in those shares”
• “Like Comex, Board of Trade involved a defendant’s attempt to create index futures that would allow investors to speculate directly on the value of an index copied from the DJIA.”
