Empagran Roundup
On January 9, 2006 the Supreme Court denied to review the D.C. Circuit’s decision on remand in Empagran v. Hoffman-LaRoche. The Empagran plaintiffs have thus come to the end of the line. Since Empagran and questions of extraterritoriality have featured prominently on this blog, here is a little self-referential roundup of previous posts:
- Empagran I
- Discussion of the Supreme Court’s Empagran I decision.
- Here is a graphical Empagran walkthrough.
- After Empagran I
- Discussion of MM Global Services v. The Dow Chemical Co. (2004)
- Discussion of Sniado v. Bank Austria (2004)
- Discussion of In re MSG Antitrust Litigation (2005)
- This survey puts the cases above in context.
- Empagran II
- Discussion of the D.C. Circuits Empagran II decision.

Hey, not related to post, but thought you might be interested in this new study from the American Antitrust Institute on the Whirlpool / Maytag merger. Sure seems like the DoJ would do something about this if they still want to be in the business of enforcing anti-trust laws. Pretty serious and straight forward market share issues…. http://www.antitrustinstitute.org/recent2/477.cfm
