Defendant.
Case: 1:10–cv–02220.
Assigned To: Walton, Reggie B.
Assign. Date: 12/21/2010.
Description: Antitrust.
Complaint
The United States of America, acting
under the direction of the Attorney
General of the United States, brings this
civil antitrust action to obtain equitable
relief against Defendant Lucasfilm Ltd.
(‘‘Lucasfilm’’), alleging as follows:
Nature of the Action
This action challenges under Section
1 of the Sherman Act an agreement
between Lucasfilm and Pixar that
restrained competition between them
for highly skilled digital animators.
Lucasfilm and Pixar compete for
highly skilled digital animators and
solicit employees at other digital
animation studios to fill employment
openings. Lucasfilm and Pixar entered
into an agreement not to cold call, not
to make counteroffers under certain
circumstances, and to provide
notification when making employment
offers to each other’s employees. This
agreement reduced Lucasfilm’s and
Pixar’s ability to compete for employees
and disrupted the normal price-setting
mechanisms that apply in the labor
setting. This agreement is facially
anticompetitive. It eliminated
significant forms of competition to
attract digital animators and, overall,
substantially diminished competition to
the detriment of the affected employees
who likely were deprived of
competitively important information
and access to better job opportunities.
Lucasfilm and Pixar’s agreement is a
restraint of trade that is per se unlawful
under Section 1 of the Sherman Act,
15 U.S.C. 1. The United States seeks an
order prohibiting such an agreement.
Jurisdiction and Venue
Lucasfilm hires specialized digital
animators throughout the United States,
and sells completed digital animation
