The rule of reason approach requires courts to look at the specific activity that is alleged to be anticompetitive and determine whether it unreasonably restrains trade or whether the behavior is monopolistic. The court does not presume that the behavior is or is not unreasonable; rather, it makes that determination only after examining the effects of the behavior on the particular market.
