HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I join in the result reached in so much of Judge Posner’s opinion as holds that the alleged cause of action is barred by the statute of limitations. Judge Aspen’s Memorandum Opinion and Order in the district court, Brunswick Corp. v. Riegel Textile Corp., 578 F.Supp. 893 (N.D.Ill.1983), held that the cause of action was barred by the statute of limitations, 15 U.S.C. Section 15b, that no exception was applicable, and that there was no continuing antitrust violation to bring it within that statute. I would affirm on the basis of Judge Aspen’s opinion. Therefore, although enlightening, I see no need for much of the antitrust-economic-patent discussion in Judge Posner’s opinion.
