Twin Cities Business Magazine Quotes Prof. Cotter on Senator Klobuchar’s Antitrust Bill

A March 12, 2020 Twin Cities Business Magazine article titled “Klobuchar Looks to Add More Teeth to Antitrust Law” provides competing perspectives from Professor Tom Cotter and from Dorsey & Whitney partner/Minnesota Law Adjunct Professor Michael Lindsay on Senator Amy Klobuchar’s draft antitrust bill, The Anticompetitive Exclusionary Conduct Prevention Act. Cotter states that the bill “intends to overrule or narrow certain Supreme Court opinions in particular over the past couple of decades relating to unilateral conduct, predatory pricing, market definition, antitrust immunities, and so on,” and that in his opinion “antitrust law probably does need a certain degree of correction.” Lindsay counters, however, that the bill “runs a serious risk of overcorrecting for a problem that hasn’t been well-defined,” though he doubts, in any event, that it will be passed.
