The Microsoft Litigation’S Lessons For United States V. Google, John E. Lopatka, William H. Page
The Microsoft Litigation’S Lessons For United States V. Google, John E. Lopatka, William H. Page
University of Miami Law Review
The United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and three overlapping groups of states have filed federal antitrust cases alleging Google has monopolized internet search, search advertising, internet advertising technologies, and app distribution on Android phones. In this Article, we focus on the DOJ’s claims that Google has used contracts with tech firms that distribute Google’s search services in order to exclude rival search providers and thus to monopolize the markets for search and search advertising—the two sides of Google’s search platform. The primary mechanisms of exclusion, according to the DOJ, are the many contracts Google has used to secure its …

Nearly A Century In Reserve: Organized Baseball: Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Exemption Enter The 80'S, Nancy Jean Meissner
Nearly A Century In Reserve: Organized Baseball: Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Exemption Enter The 80'S, Nancy Jean Meissner
Pepperdine Law Review
In her comment, the author fashions a compelling argument for congressional elimination of baseball's exemption from federal antitrust laws. After noting that the exemption had been formulated in 1922 by the Supreme Court, the author explains that it has been abused by baseball club owners to create a virtual monopoly over ballplayers through the reserve system. Although the reserve system's control was somewhat diluted in 1976, with the advent of free agency and collective bargaining, club owners are currently negotiating for mandatory compensation for the loss of free agents. The resultant threat of a player's strike has served to focus …
The Economics Of Deal Risk: Allocating Risk Through Mac Clauses In Business Combination Agreements, Robert T. Miller
The Economics Of Deal Risk: Allocating Risk Through Mac Clauses In Business Combination Agreements, Robert T. Miller
William & Mary Law Review
In any large corporate acquisition, there is an interim period between the time that the parties enter into a merger agreement and the time the transaction is effected and the purchase price paid. During this period, the business of the acquired company may deteriorate, thus raising the question of whether the counterparty must perform on the agreement and pay the purchase price. Merger agreements typically address this problem through "material adverse change" (MAC) clauses, which provide that a party may walk away from the transaction without penalty if the counterparty has suffered a MAC. Although the definition of MAC is …
An Efficiency Analysis Of Contracts For The Provision Of Telephone Services To Prisons, Justin Carver
An Efficiency Analysis Of Contracts For The Provision Of Telephone Services To Prisons, Justin Carver
Federal Communications Law Journal
As the numbers of prisons and prisoners continue to increase, so does the market for prison services. One of the more lucrative segments of this industry is the telephone market. To the extent that the services are provided to the prisoners, the relationship resembles a third party beneficiary contract, but due to the perverse financial incentives and the political climate surrounding prisons and prisoners, neither the state nor the private entity acts in the best interests of the consumers in particular or of society in general. This Article will analyze the efficiency of these contracts, introduce alternate arrangements, and compare …

Resale Price Maintenance, Stanley D. Rose
Resale Price Maintenance, Stanley D. Rose
Vanderbilt Law Review
There was a tide in the affairs of men that was taken at its flood by the National Association of Retail Druggists--and it led on to fortune. For this band of little men the Miller-Tydings Amendment to the Sherman Act I was the end of a thirty years war. Enjoined in 1907 from attempting to force up retail price margins and maintain retail drug prices at a uniform level, this association joined with other groups desirous of achieving similar ends in an effort, year after year, to persuade Congress to permit the making of contracts between manufacturers and retailers that …
