Data General v. Grumman Systems Support

Citation
Data General Corp. v. Grumman Systems Support Corp., 36 F.3d 1147 (1st Cir. 1994) (full-text).

Appellate Court Proceedings
The court considered a computer manufacturer’s alleged monopolization of a service market for its own product through its alleged refusal to license its diagnostic software to third-party maintenance providers. The court acknowledged that competition issues were relevant to the analysis, but held that "an author’s desire to exclude others from use of its copyrighted work is a presumptively valid business justification for any immediate harm to consumers."
