one of my clients was gun shy re. antitrust boomeranging from filing a patent complaint. So when we were tapped to sue a company on an automotive patent we had to meet with DC antitrust counsel. The guy was probably billing twice what I did, and was completely full of hot air- BUT his point was that my patent was itself the relevant market, or could very likely be. so what he said was different from what everyone has said to GGG or you or burger.
after about an hour of showing him existing alternatives he still was not ready to green light us. So i told him I was going to write the client that if Antitrust guy's opinion was right, the company should just stop patenting anything becasue it was circular that the patents could never be used. He backed down a little bit then.
