Heavy-duty Transmission Monopolization Case Goes Forward

In ZF Meritor LLC et al. v. Eaton Corp., the Delaware District Court Judge Sue L. Robinson denied Eaton’s motion for summary judgment, holding that plaintiffs may proceed with their antitrust claims accusing Eaton of monopolizing the market for heavy-duty transmissions in North America.  The Court held that given the defendants’ “undisputed monopoly power in the market,” there remained a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether Eaton of used its dominant position in the marketplace anticompetitive to force heavy-duty truck manufacturers to enter into exclusive dealing contracts that foreclosed ZF Meritor from more than 90 percent of heavy-duty transmission sales.
