At end of page one and beginning of page two it states,

"Antitrust laws foster competition by prohibiting anticompetitive mergers, collusion, and exclusionary uses of monopoly power. Yet, it is well understood that exercise of monopoly power, including the charging of monopoly prices, through the exercise of a lawfully gained monopoly position will not run afoul of the antitrust laws." *

*see Verizon Communications vs law offices of Curtis V.

Then on page two>

"The same principal applies to monopoly power that is based on intellectual property rights.As judge Posner has explained, "It is not a violation of [the antitrust laws]to acquire a monopoly by lawful means,and those means include innovations protected from competition by the intellectual property laws" **

**see Richard A. Posner, Antitrust in the New Economy [etc]
