Reading list: when a monopolist deceives

Maurice E. Stucke, When a Monopolist Deceives, 76 Antitrust Law Journal 823 (2010).

Abstract:
This essay uses one context - a monopolist’s deceptive advertising or product disparagement - to illustrate how competition authorities and courts should evaluate a monopolist’s deception under the federal antitrust laws. Competition authorities should target a monopolist’s anticompetitive deception, which courts should treat as a prima facie violation of the Sherman Act without requiring a full-blown rule of reason analysis or an arbitrary, multi-factor standard.
