Opening Brief in American Needle v. NFL Set for Friday
For those who have been following the Supreme Court case American Needle v. NFL, this Friday clothing manufacturer American Needle Inc. will file its opening brief, arguing that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals was wrong to define the NFL as a single-entity under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
Thanks for the update guys, but does everything on this blog have to be a plug for your latest paper? It seems as though it's getting that way more and more over time
I agree with you. I do not see how the Supreme Court can equate the NFL as a single entity. Copperweld's facts are sufficiently different and all sports leagues have a confederation quality, rather than a unitary one. While the intellectual property issue does come close, it does not make it to single entity status. We'll see what happens.
