The board members of XYZ Corporation discuss among themselves how to increase the market share for XYZ Widgets. Eventually these widgets beat out the competition and are the only brand of this type of product remaining on the market. What is the most likely analysis of the situation from the standpoint of antitrust law?
The board members' discussions amount to a conspiracy to restrain trade.
The board members are guilty of an attempt to monopolize.
Because the company has in fact created a monopoly, it has violated the antitrust laws.
The mere fact that these widgets have cornered the market does not prove a violation.
