  • Supreme Court Wants Government's View on 3M
    Andre P. Barlow of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP

    The United States Supreme Court seeks the government's views on whether to review a monopoly maintenance case against 3M Corporation. (3M Co. v. LePage's Inc., U.S., No. 02-1865, 10/6/03). The case is noteworthy because an en banc United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that a finding of illegal monopoly maintenance can be made even if a monopolist's prices are above its costs.
