PanAmSat had claimed that COMSAT had engaged in anticompetitive practices in international telecommunications markets. PanAmSat initially had sought treble damages amounting to $1.5 billion. The Court concluded that PanAmSat had provided insufficient evidence to establish its antitrust allegations. The Court's decision remains subject to appeal.
