The conventional predation claim involves a monopolist reducing price and increasing output.

Brantley and its Implications for the Proposed Consumer Choice Antitrust Standard

Corporate jets: the new backdating?
Looks like a new scandal is brewing. A WSJ article co-written by one of the backdating reporters (Mark Maremont) looks through FAA flight records to find that dozens of jets operated by publicly traded corporations made 30% or more of their trips to or from resort destinations, sometimes more than 50%. Often, these were places ... Corporate jets: the new backdating?
LLCs are not corporations
Nor are they the redundant fictional entity, “limited liability corporations.” This is a lesson that courts and commentators are finally, slowly, learning. I highlighted this point last fall in discussing CML V, LLC v. Bax, 6 A.3d 238 (Del. Ch. Nov. 3, 2010), where VC Laster denied a creditor standing to sue derivatively for an LLC, ... LLCs are not corporations

Moving the Merc?
I’ve been writing (here and here) about Illinois’s troubles, in a mobile, multi-jurisdictional world, raising taxes on corporations to pay for its past profligacy. And now a symbol of Chicago might be in play: The line of businesses looking for tax relief in Illinois keeps growing, with the latest plea coming from the owner of ... Moving the Merc?
Bootleggers and Baptists, 2011 version
Back in college, I didn’t think it would happen this way: Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has long sold weed killer. Now, it’s hoping to help people grow killer weed. In an unlikely move for the head of a major company, Scotts Chief Executive Jim Hagedorn said he is exploring targeting medical marijuana as well as other ... Bootleggers and Baptists, 2011 version
What’s really motivating the pursuit of Google?
I have an op-ed up at Main Justice on FTC Chairman Leibowitz’ recent comment in response the a question about the FTC’s investigation of Google that the FTC is looking for a “pure Section Five case.” With Main Justice’s permission, the op-ed is re-printed here: There’s been a lot of chatter around Washington about ...
