Despite the suggestion in the subheadline that DoorDash-Instacart is a vertical merger (restaurant and grocery delivery, respectively), the story reveals that DoorDash has recently invaded Instacart’s “turf” in grocery delivery, which has horizontal implications. And that’s just n the input markets for grocery stores and delivery drivers, the merger can be considered horizontal as well, potentially leading to higher commissions on stores and lower pay for workers.

for real did they just cut the green line trains in half and not tell us? I waited 20+ minutes at rush hour monday and it’s approaching that today, plus in the mornings it’s been 3x more packed than usual

today there was a guy on the green line who was as tall as the train & had to keep his head down the whole ride
I feel like he had well over a foot on me. how tall are the train cars? not to sound like a 6th grader but ~6’7”?

...one exception to the doctrine is material alteration
ta argues the product CVS purchasers get is actually materially different, & not covered by first sale doctrine, because the products don't come w/ the same warranty & customer-service protections

another exception can exist where the sale creates a likelihood of confusion. here, ta thinks it matters that cvs purchasers will be misled into thinking the sale is authorized by him when it isn't.

a reminder to all law students: you don't need a STEM background to be an IP lawyer--only utility patent prosecution requires patent bar passage (which requires you completed a particular major or sufficient hours of study in a STEM field):

patent litigation remains open to all lawyers, as does all kinds of trademark, copyright, trade secret, right of publicity, sports & entertainment law, & other transactional IP work outside of patent pros
