On August 17, 2010, the Fifth Circuit resolved the long-standing case of PSKS, Inc. v. Leegin Creative Leather Prods., Inc.,1 affirming the district court’s dismissal of plaintiff’s claims of resale price maintenance. This was the second time that the Fifth Circuit reviewed the case; in 2006, the court affirmed a $1.2 million damages award based on the same claims.2 The Supreme Court reversed, overturning its ancient ruling in Dr. Miles Medical Co. v. John D. Park & Sons Co., 220 U.S. 373 (1911) (“Dr. Miles”), and holding that resale price maintenance (or “vertical price-fixing”) should no longer be considered per se illegal.3
