Set forth when a monopolist has a duty to deal with its rivals and the four elements considered in determining such a duty


A monopolist has a duty to deal with its rivals when it controls an essential facility, that is, some resource necessary to its rivals' survival that they cannot feasibly duplicate. A court considers the following four elements in an essential-facility case: (1) whether the defendant prevents would-be competitors from using the facility, (2) whether it is feasible for the defendant to permit access to the facility by its would-be competitors, (3) whether the defendant has monopoly power and control of the facility, and (4) whether the competitors are able to duplicate the essential facility.
