There is a controlling IBM (?) case, which I cannot readily find, which controls:
This is the concept:
If you control a market on a thing (CPU), and there is an improvement (chipset) to that thing, by another company, and if that "improvement" can be more easily and better integrated, patents aside, by the original manufacturer, then the fact that the other company is forced out of the market is not a violation of antitrust. The "improvement" must be one that the manufacturer can better, cheaper and more easily integrate than the consumer can on its own.
Please excuse my articulatelessnesshood, it is still early here.
(if anyone of you legal eagles out there have the citation, feel free to post)
