This book expands and updates information that was presented originally in the Section's 1993 and 2009 publications on the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine. Among other new developments, this update considers the Supreme Court's decision in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. (2014).

This handbook will contribute to your understanding of this fascinating and challenging area of antitrust law. It will be a valuable addition to the debate over how the antitrust laws should be applied to collective and unilateral efforts to influence government action for allegedly anticompetitive ends, as well as a valuable resource in applying the Noerr-Pennington doctrine.
