Orrick LLP

Game Bundling Not Likely to be in Violation of Antitrust Laws, Says Orrick Intellectual Property Partner
Intellectual Property Partner Bob Freitas is quoted in a GameDailyBiz article about the prices of bundle packages for upcoming game consoles. According to Freitas, it is possible that these game system bundles that include several games, extra controllers, memory cards and other trinkets could violate certain anti-trust laws, but it's not highly likely. "The most common way that something like this would be looked at would be a problem with so called tying arrangements, where someone will condition the purchase of one product on the purchase of another... and this comes up in anti-trust law in a variety of ways," Freitas explained. "You can have a standard tying of unrelated products, you can have what's called full-line forcing where they make you take the whole line and they won't sell you one little part of it, or sometimes bundling problems can get analyzed in this way.
