In the context of antitrust, tying refers to a seller requiring a buyer to purchase a second product (the “tied product”) as a condition for receiving the primary product (the “tying product”). Bundling, which is the practice of selling multiple goods together, is a related practice. Both tying and bundling can violate antitrust laws if they involve a firm with significant market power using these practices to restrict competition. Tying is considered anticompetitive if it restricts competition in the market for the tied product, and bundling can be considered anticompetitive if a dominant firm uses it to leverage its market power to gain an advantage in another market.
Antitrust cases involving tying and bundling can be complex, and assessing the impact of these arrangements can be challenging. Clients rely on Econ One’s antitrust experts for their ability to assess the impact of tying and bundling allegations and their ability to deliver comprehensive expert reports and expert testimony before courts and regulatory agencies.
