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
