DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Antitrust Division

United States of America vs. The

Thomson Corporation and West

Publishing Company; Proposed Final

Judgment and Competitive Impact

Statement

Notice is hereby given pursuant to the

Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act,

15 U.S.C. 16(b)–(h), that a proposed

Final Judgment, Stipulation, and

Competitive Impact Statement have

been filed with the United States

District Court for the District of

Columbia in United States vs. The

Thomson Corporation and West

Publishing Company, Civ. Action No.

96–1415. The proposed Final Judgment

is subject to approval by the Court after

the expiration of the statutory 60-day

public comment period and compliance

with the Antitrust Procedures and

Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b)–(h).

On June 19, 1996, the United States

filed a Complaint seeking to enjoin a

transaction in which The Thomson

Corporation (‘‘Thomson’’) agreed to

acquire West Publishing Company

(‘‘West’’). Thomson and West are two of

the country’s largest publishers of law

books and legal research materials.

Thomson and West publish numerous

competing legal publications, including

the only two annotated United States

Codes and the only two enhanced U.S.

Supreme Court reporters. The

Complaint alleged that the proposed

acquisition would substantially lessen

competition in the market for legal

publications in violation of section 7 of

the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18, and

Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act,

15 U.S.C. 1.

The proposed Final Judgment orders

defendants to divest 51 legal

publications to one or more purchasers

who have the ability effectively to

compete in the market for legal

publications. To insure that each

divested product will be sold as a

viable, ongoing line of business,

Thomson is required to divest related

production assets in addition to its

rights to publication titles, and to allow

the purchaser to seek to hire employees

who have been working on the

products. The defendants are also

required to license openly the right to

use the pagination of individual pages

in West’s National Reporter System to

any interested third party for a fee.

Thomson is also to grant to Lexis-Nexis

options to extend for five years its

current licenses for the three important

non-legal databases: Investext, ASAP,

and Preicasts. In addition, Thomson is

required to allow the state of California,

Washington and Wisconsin to reopen

the bidding for contracts presently held

by Thomson for the publication of their

respective official state case law

reporters. In the event any of these

states choose another official reporter,

Thomson is required to divest its assets

related to its current contract and to

divest its associated state digest.

A Competitive Impact Statement filed

by the United States describes the

Complaint, the proposed Final

Judgment, and remedies available to

private litigants.
