7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Viamedia, Inc., Comcast Corporation, et al.,

Case No.: 18-2852

Officials: BAUER, HAMILTON, and BRENNAN, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sherman Act Violation

Plaintiff Viamedia, Inc. has sued defendant Comcast Corporation for violating Section 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2. Viamedia accuses Comcast of using its monopoly power in one service market to exclude competition and gain monopoly power in another service market. The district court dismissed Viamedia’s case, in part on the pleadings and in part on summary judgment. We reverse. Viamedia’s allegations and evidence are sufficient to state and support claims that should be presented to a jury.

Reversed and remanded
