Description
HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge: Roy B. Taylor Sales, Inc., a dealer of hamburger patty machines and patty paper, sues its supplier, Hollymatic Corporation, a manufacturer of patty products. Taylor alleges that Hollymatic violated the antitrust laws by requiring Taylor to purchase patty paper as a condition to purchasing patty machines. A Texas jury found that Hollymatic illegally tied the products in violation of § 1 of the Sherman Act1 and § 3 of the Clayton Act,2 that Hollymatic conspired with its paper supplier, Bomarko Corporation, to restrain trade in violation of § 2 of the Sherman Act,3 and that Hollymatic established or attempted to establish a monopoly in violation of § 1 of the Sherman Act.4 The district court trebled the jury's award and entered judgment for Taylor. We find insufficient evidence of either a threat or injury to competition and reverse.
