District of Delaware Judge Sue Robinson denied defendant Eaton Corp.’s motion for judgment seeking to overturn a jury verdict finding that Eaton violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The plaintiffs, transmission manufacturer competitors ZF and Meritor, argued that Eaton took anticompetitive actions to foreclose the plaintiffs from the manual transmission market. These included long-term exclusive dealing arrangements. Eaton argued that the challenged agreements were not intended to serve an anticompetitive purpose and did not raise price. The court nonetheless upheld the verdict on the ground that the plaintiff had presented sufficient evidence of market foreclosure.
