A district court blocked the proposed merger of the second and third largest providers of tax preparation software, having found that other methods of tax return preparation should not be included in the relevant market. Private parties seeking to challenge AT&T’s plans to acquire T-Mobile suffered the requisite antitrust injury to proceed with some of their claims. The federal antitrust agencies issued a policy statement concerning collaborations mandated by the new health care law.
Other recent antitrust developments of note included a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that the exchange of credit information without more did not plausibly constitute an illegal restraint of trade and a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit that coordinated negotiations by holders of debt instruments did not violate antitrust law.
