Full Rule of Reason
Contents
Place in the Framework
The full rule of reason is the default framework for restraints that are not condemned per se and are not suitable for abbreviated review.
Core Questions
- What is the relevant market?
- Does the restraint produce anticompetitive effects?
- What procompetitive justifications does the defendant offer?
- Are less restrictive alternatives available?
Working Notes
Add the modern burden-shifting framework here, along with examples of evidence used at each stage.
