These technologies of information also account for a significant portion of the difficulties that antitrust law encounters when its addresses intellectual property rights.

Markovits argues forcefully that the Sherman and Clayton Acts were intended to employ different tests of illegality. As a result, even when they cover the same practices, such as mergers, exclusive dealing, or tying, they address them under different tests. He then shows how he would analyze various …
