Credit Suisse v. Billing

25 06 07 - 23:54 Credit Suisse v. Billing (June 18, 2007)

Admittedly, this case, Credit Suisse v. Billing, is barely, nominally, appropriately considered a case involving law and technology. It's a slow day...

Still, in Credit Suisse v. Billing, a group of investors filed suit against an investment bank alleging that the investment bank violated antitrust laws when it formed syndicates to help execute initial public offerings (IPOs) for several hundred technology-related companies.

The investors argued that the investment bank unlawfully agreed that they would not sell newly issued securities to a buyer unless the buyer committed (1) to buy additional shares of that security later at escalating prices (known as "laddering"), (2) to pay unusually high commissions on subsequent security purchases from the underwriters, or (3) to purchase from the underwriters other less desirable securities (known as "tying").


Apparently, to avoid the odd circumstances where evidence that shows unlawful antitrust activity may also be lawful securities marketing activity, the court's majority agreed that federal securities law impliedly precludes application of antitrust laws to the conduct in question.

Justice Thomas was the lone dissenter. Thomas concluded that the case against the investment bank should go forward because the Court did not have to resolve a purported conflict between antitrust law and securities law.

Justice Breyer authored the majority opinion (7-1; Kennedy took no part in deciding the case).

» New Rule The U.S. Supreme Court proposes revised Rule 25.8 on electronic filing: "An electronic version of every brief on the merits shall be transmitted to the Clerk of Court and to opposing counsel of record at the time the brief is filed in accordance with guidelines established by the Clerk. The electronic transmission requirement is in addition to the requirement that booklet-format briefs be timely filed." Effective August 1, 2007.   one comment |

» Software Patents Does Microsoft v. ATT raise analogic implications for software patents? I say yes. And, consider the USPTO's instruction concerning subject matter patents.

"Similarly, computer programs claimed as computer listings per se, i.e., the descriptions or expressions of the programs, are not physical "things." They are neither computer components nor
statutory processes, as they are not "acts" being performed. Such claimed computer programs do not define any structural and functional interrelationships between the computer program and other claimed elements of a computer which permit the computer program's functionality to be realized. Accordingly, it is important to distinguish claims that define descriptive material per se from claims that define statutory inventions."

Thinking in terms of the Court's holding in Microsoft v. ATT, would Windows on a CD-ROM constitute a physical thing or a textual expression? Should the treatment of the software be the same under subject matter analysis as well as a section 271(f) issue?   one comment |
