O.S.C. Corp. v. Apple Computer, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
SKOPIL, Circuit Judge:
These are antitrust actions brought against Apple Computer, Inc. (“Apple”) by six retail dealers (“dealers”) of personal computers. The dealers contend that Apple’s ban on mail order sales violates section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 (1982). The district court rejected the dealers’ arguments that the ban was per se unlawful as a product of a price-fixing conspiracy. The court also rejected the dealers’ alternative theory that the restraint was unlawful under a rule of reason analysis. We affirm the well-reasoned decision of the district court.
