Whether the continuation of a Sherman Act violation retriggers the statute of limitations when the violation causes injury within the limitations period

QUESTION PRESENTED This Court has held that the Clayton Act statute of limitations permits recovery of damages for injuries arising from “conduct which constituted a continuing violation of the Sherman Act and which inflicted continuing and accumulating harm on” the plaintiff, even if the conduct began outside the limitations period. Hanover Shoe, Inc. v. United Shoe Mach. Corp., 392 U.S. 481, 502 n.15 (1968). In this case, defendants initiated a monopoly and conspiracy to restrain trade outside the period but continued those violations into that period, when the unlawful conduct injured plaintiff. The question presented is whether the continuation of a Sherman Act violation retriggers the statute of limitations when the violation causes injury within the limitations period.
