It is not always necessary to find a specific intent to restrain trade or to build a monopoly in order to find that the anti-trust laws have been violated. It is sufficient that a restraint of trade or monopoly results as the consequence of a defendant's conduct or business arrangements.
How often courts cite the case defining “specific intent”
Court decisions citing the opinion that defined “specific intent” — 1,433 in all, by decade. Counts are citations to the defining case as a whole, not verified uses of the term.
