United States Ninth Circuit
Samsung Electronics Co. v. Panasonic Corporation, 12-15185
The district court's dismissal of plaintiff's private action to enforce the antitrust laws is reversed and remanded, where: 1) plaintiff sufficiently alleged that defendants committed two overt acts within the limitations period when they adopted a new license for SD cards and attempted to enforce either the original or the new license by collecting royalty payments from the plaintiff; and 2) the case also fell with the statute of limitations exception for speculative damages because the existence of the harm was not determinable at the time of the adoption of the original license.
