How an artificial tooth monopoly put the DOJ’s blockbuster Apple antitrust suit in New Jersey
The Verge

Medial
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Apple in the state of New Jersey, possibly due to the state's favourable history in antitrust cases. In 2004, the DOJ successfully sued dental supply company Dentsply in the Third Circuit, which includes New Jersey, for maintaining a monopoly in the artificial teeth industry. The DOJ may believe that the legal precedent set in that case will be beneficial in its current antitrust lawsuit against Apple. Additionally, New Jersey is home to Samsung's US headquarters, which is mentioned in the lawsuit as a meaningful competitor to Apple in the smartphone market.
