Question:
Java Bean Company imports coffee beans and sells them under twoyear contracts
to Mellow Roast, Inc., and other coffeemakers. The contracts require that during the two
year term a coffeemaker not buy beans from Java Beans competitors. The contracts do
not limit the coffeemakers purchase of tea or other beverage ingredients from other
suppliers, however. In the second year of the contract, Mellow Roast protests that this
arrangement violates antitrust law. Is Mellow Roast correct? If not, why not? If so under
which antitrust statute, or statutes, could these contracts be held illegal?
