What is tying? When does the practice of tying run afoul of the antitrust statutes? The Supreme Court ruled in the Eastman Kodak v. Image Technical Services [ 504 U.S. 451 (1992)] that Eastman Kodak’s practice of withholding access to replacement parts for its volume copiers and micrographic equipment from independent service organizations (ISOs) gave its own service division an unfair, and illegal, advantage in the “after market for repair services.” Review the dissent of Justice Scalia in this case. Why did this case fail to meet the test for illegal tying, according to Justice Scalia?
