Seventh Circuit Win for FaegreBD Client Noted in Law360

Law360 covered a recent ruling in the Seventh Circuit that upheld the dismissal of an antitrust suit between two companies that make systems that change traffic light signals to allow emergency service vehicles to safely clear intersections.

Faegre Baker Daniels associate Emily Chow, who represented Global Traffic Technologies Inc., said she was pleased with the decision that ruled the plaintiff couldn't sue Global Traffic Technologies Inc. in the Southern District of Illinois because the company did little business there. The ruling highlights the importance of venue limits of the Clayton Act, which states that antitrust plaintiffs can't cite various jurisdictional rules to sue corporate defendants anywhere in the country.
