Description

The Noerr-Pennington Doctrine 3rd Edition ISBN 9781639051380

This book offers a thoroughly expanded and updated treatment of the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine, building on the Section’s earlier publications from 1993 and 2009. It incorporates significant legal developments since those editions, including analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. (2014), and reflects the evolving application of the doctrine in modern antitrust litigation.

Designed to deepen understanding of this complex and highly nuanced area of antitrust law, the handbook explores how antitrust principles intersect with efforts—both collective and unilateral—to influence governmental action. It serves as both a scholarly contribution to ongoing policy and legal debates and a practical resource for attorneys applying the Noerr-Pennington doctrine in real-world matters.

Chapters include:

  • Defining the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine

  • The Historical and Legal Sources of the Doctrine

  • Statutory Construction vs. First Amendment Foundations

  • The Scope of “Petitioning” Activity

  • Defining “Government” for Noerr-Pennington Purposes

  • Exceptions to Noerr-Pennington Immunity

  • Practical Applications and Litigation Considerations

This handbook is an essential reference for practitioners and scholars navigating the intersection of antitrust law, petitioning activity, and constitutional principles.
