Antitrust law and nonprofit organizations: the law school accreditation case
Article Abstract:
A flexible rule of reason approach should be taken in antitrust analysis of potentially anticompetitive activities of nonprofit organizations. Antitrust charges alleged by the Massachusetts School of Law and the US Department of Justice against the American Bar Association raised the question of what antitrust standards should apply to organizations that cannot by definition profit from anticompetitive activities. Many nonprofits operate to correct market failures. Rule of reason analysis of nonprofits should consider the procompetitive benefits of activities that may appear to restrict competition.

Parts and service included: an information-centered approach to Kodak and the problem of aftermarket monopolies
Article Abstract:
The US Supreme Court's decision in Eastman Kodak Co v. Image Technical Services creates confusion for legitimate businesses over what conduct is illegal when providing parts and services for the businesses' own products. This problem could be resolved through an information disclosure standard where any company that tells customers the expected parts and services costs over the life of the machine at time of purchase is free from aftermarket antitrust liability. This standard proposal is based on the warranty logic and would resolve the Court's concerns about imperfect information.

Kodak decision revitalizes tying claims
Article Abstract:
The Supreme Court's decision in Eastman Kodak Co v Image Technical Services Inc will have the effect of increasing antitrust litigation, particularly cases based on tying claims and monopolization. Since the Kodak decision tends to weaken defendants' ability to resolve a case by motion for summary judgement, it raises the settlement value of a case, thereby encouraging plaintiffs. The decision affirms the continued viability of the per se rule.
