U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1638
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bowman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Antitrust. District court did not err in determining that
single-use and multiple-use dialyzers are competitors in the same market
and that defendant did not possess monopoly power in this market; the
fact that there was a significant price differential between the two
dialyzers was not the only factor to be considered in determining the
relevant product market; with respect to plaintiff's anti-competitive
conduct claim, the district court did not err in finding that plaintiff
failed to offer any evidence to support its allegations of predatory or
anti-competitive conduct and that it also failed to show that defendant's
conduct had a dangerous probability of success.
