The first notable and one of the most famous Antitrust cases was the Standard Oil case, decided in 1911, over 20 years after the Sherman Act was passed. Since the Standard Oil case, there have been thousands of investigations and charges filed. Among them are well known cases such as US steel, American Telephone and Telegraph (Bell System) and the Amoco/BP merger. More recently Microsoft, Apple, the Verizon/MCI merger and the NCAA have been investigated for antitrust violations. While investigations and FTC actions can bring about an organizational break-up or a change in the way an organization does business, it is common for a suit to bring no or little action.
For this paper, Identify an antitrust case, explain the violation the case was brought forth on, organization(s) involved, some details of the case, and the disposition of the case.
Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length and have 3-5 works cited.
