Consumer Preference For Brand Names Under The Robinson-Patman Act, Anon

Washington Law Review

Borden Company sold evaporated milk under its own brand name at a substantially higher price than it sold chemically identical milk under private brand names. The Federal Trade Commission found price discrimination in violation of the Robinson-Patman Act and issued a cease and desist order prohibiting further price differentials between the two products. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Borden's petition to set aside the order, and held: Premium brand products commanding consumer preference and chemically identical products sold under private brands are not of "like grade and quality" within the meaning of the Robinson-Patman Act. Borden Co. v. …

The Antitrust Laws And The Corporate Executive's Civil Damage Liability, Joseph R. Manning

Vanderbilt Law Review

It will be the purpose of this note to examine the executive's potential civil liability for damages resulting from his violations of the federal antitrust laws. First, there is the injury to the persons against whom his unlawful conduct was directed. They may desire compensation for their injuries, as well as treble damages in a suit authorized by section 4 of the Clayton Act.' Also, the executive may cause injury to his corporation by subjecting it to fines, damages,and litigation expenses. This presents the question: whether a shareholder may bring a derivative suit against the executive for these damages to …

Monopoly—Extension Toward Per Se Violation, Anon

Washington Law Review

The Justice Department brought injunctive action under section 4 of the Sherman Act against Grinnell Corporation and three affiliates which Grinnell controlled through preponderant stock ownership. Grinnell manufactures automatic sprinklers, fire and burglar alarms, and other machinery used in the alarm industry, and its affiliates are corporations supplying subscriber-customers with fire and burglar alarm services from central points through automatic alarm systems installed on subscribers' premises.

Determining The "Line Of Commerce" Under Section Seven Of The Clayton Act, William H. Barr

Vanderbilt Law Review

A provision of the antitrust statutes currently receiving a great deal of publicity is the anti-merger section of the Clayton Act-section 7. The statute prohibits the acquisition by one corporation of stock or assets of another corporation, "where in any line of commerce in any section of the country, the effect of such acquisition may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly." It is designed to eliminate the merger as a means to amassing monopoly power by prohibiting at its incipiency the lessening of competition or the creation of monopoly power through merger. A finding …

The Relativity Of Economic Evidence In Merger Cases-Emerging Decisions Force The Issue, Betty Bock

Michigan Law Review

The following discussion explores the interaction between law and economics as these two disciplines relate to the issues which arise under section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended in 1950, and examines the correlative problems implicit in the working arrangements between lawyers and economists when they are asked to counsel an enforcement agency or an acquiring or acquired company concerning the potential competitive consequences of a merger.

The Antitrust Expediting Act- A Critical Reappraisal, Robert C. Bonges

Michigan Law Review

The Expediting Act has been subject to some rather severe criticism from the bench and bar. At the extreme, it has been suggested that the act be repealed and the procedure for appealing government civil antitrust cases be completely overhauled. Even proponents of the act have acknowledged its need of revision, but there is little agreement among them on the extent and nature of desirable change. This comment will explore the origins, development, and current role of the Expediting Act in order to help determine what course revision, if it is needed, should follow.

Federal Law Held To Govern Effect Of The Release Of A Joint Tortfeasor In Private Antitrust Suit-Winchester Drive-In Theatre, Inc. V. Twentieth Century Fox Film Co., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Private antitrust litigation occasionally raises the question of whether state or federal law should be applied to determine the effect of the release of a joint tortfeasor. When federal law is applied, as it was in Winchester Drive-In Theatre, Inc. v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Co., there remains the necessity of formulating a rule of federal law, since there appears to be no established federal rule governing releases in antitrust suits.

Federal Private Antitrust Action Is Characterized As Penal Under State Law, Anon

Washington Law Review

Plaintiffs brought a treble damage action under section 4 of the Clayton Act alleging violations by defendant oil companies of sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. These violations purportedly occurred some two years prior to the filing of plaintiffs' action. The district court for the southern district of California dismissed the action on the ground that it was barred by the one year California statute of limitations relating to statutory forfeitures or penalties. On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed. Held: A private antitrust action under the Clayton Act is an action to recover …

Reciprocity And The Federal Antitrust Laws, Bernard E. Harvith

Washington Law Review

The Jones Chemical Company is considering its next purchase of the cardboard barrels in which it packages much of its output. The salesman from Smith Paper Products suggests that his firm be given preference, since it purchases large quantities of chemicals from Jones. He even hints that those purchases will be increased if Jones will make the "right" decision in regard to its orders. This prediction proves to be correct, after Jones purchases its barrels from Smith. These firms are engaging in a common business practice which has come to be called "reciprocity." This modern industrial version of the ancient …

Territorial Trademark Rights And The Antitrust Laws, Richard F. Dole

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Trademarks are devises used by business men to distinguish their goods from those of others. The utility of trademarks to purchasers lies in the identification of different lines of merchandise by different trademarks. On the other hand, perhaps the greatest advantage of trademarks to business derives from the connotations associated with marks by skillful advertising. Legal protection of trademark rights thus has a dual aspect: preventing others from copying marks both guards the identification function of trademarks and maintains exclusive rights in the commercial value of trademarks created by advertising. A Senate committee described the hybrid nature of trademark protection …

Meeting Competition In Good Faith, And The Premium Product, Arthur D. Austin

Cleveland State Law Review

The broad purpose of the Robinson-Patman Act is to prohibit sellers from granting price allowances, and other specified benefits which give competitive advantage to a purchaser and also discriminate against his competitors. It came into existence largely because the Clayton Act had proven ineffective in dealing with the chain store, which made sizeable capital investments "in facilities for performing bulk storage, redelivery, and financing, so as to 'integrate' the retailing and wholesaling functions... and to eliminate middleman profits by dealing with the manufacturer directly." The claims generated such concern among the independents that they demanded and obtained legislative relief. Whether …
