Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
The Rule of reason helps the court to analyse any anti-competitive agreements and also helps to decide whether the agreement is actually violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act which determines the reasonable constitution of restraint of trade. On the other hand, ‘per se’ explains that the agreement is inherently illegal.
Company ICANN should be judged based on the rule of reason as both the organizations operate at a different level. Vertical restraints exist in this case as VS was imposed with various restrictions.
