Use of private sources of market share
data and experts in antitrust litigation
BY TERRY CALVANI,* ANDREW BERG,** and JOHN SIEG-
FRIED***
I. Introduction
Determining market share is exceedingly important in antitrust
litigation since market power is often inferred from market share
and market power is a necessary element to antitrust causes of
action. Market power-power over price-must be demonstrated
to establish unlawful monopolization under section 2 of the
Sherman Act.' The market has also been held to be a necessary
element in attempted monopolization cases by most courts.2
