On September 24, 2010, the DOJ Antitrust Division filed a civil lawsuit in U.S District Court against six large high-tech companies, Adobe Systems, Apple, Google, Intel Corp., Intuit, and Pixar. The complaint alleged that they had entered into separate, bilateral non-solicitation agreements that violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Contemporaneously, the DOJ announced a settlement of its claims with each of the six companies. This case raises the potential overlap between state and federal laws as applied to restrictive covenants. Todd Seelman, an antitrust attorney with Grimshaw & Harring in Denver, breaks it down in detail HERE.
