How later courts describe this case

  • reversing the district court’s granting of summary judgment which held that restrictions imposed on an agent cannot violate the antitrust laws
  • “Suspicion, conjecture and speculation are not enough.... The purported fact issue must be actual rather than theoretical, real rather than imaginary.”
  • a challenge to a district court order dismissing a claim against a corporation for the actions of its employees is moot after a verdict is delivered in favor of the employees
  • agency not required to initiate rulemaking when resulting rules merely describe controlling provisions
  • exclusive dealing requirement to be examined under rule of reason
  • specific intent to monopolize must relate to a specific market
  • design of streets and control of traffic flow
  • standing determined by "factual matrix"
