Description

JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge This antitrust case presents, among others, an interesting relevant market problem. Spectrofuge Corporation, an independent service organization, brought suit against Beckman Instruments, Inc., a manufacturer of scientific instruments, alleging that Beckman had restrained trade and had monopolized or attempted to monopolize the servicing of its instruments, one in particular, in violation of Â§Â§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C.A. Â§Â§ 1, 2. It also charged Beckman with common law unfair competition. Beckman, counterclaiming for violation of Â§ 1 and for unfair competition, alleged that Spectrofuge had pirated its employees and misappropriated its confidential information. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a general verdict** in favor of Spectrofuge on its claims and against Beckman on its counterclaims.
