Section 4
Jurisdiction of courts; duty of United States attorneys;
procedure
The several district courts of the United States are
invested with jurisdiction to prevent and restrain
violations of sections 1 to 7 of this title; and it
shall be the duty of the several United States
attorneys, in their respective districts, under the
direction of the Attorney General, to institute
proceedings in equity to prevent and restrain such
violations. Such proceedings may be by way of petition
setting forth the case and praying that such violation
shall be enjoined or otherwise prohibited. When the
parties complained of shall have been duly notified of
such petition the court shall proceed, as soon as may
be, to the hearing and determination of the case; and
pending such petition and before final decree, the court
may at any time make such temporary restraining order or
prohibition as shall be deemed just in the premises.
Section 5
Bringing in additional parties
Whenever it shall appear to the court before which any
proceeding under section 4 of this title may be pending,
that the ends of justice require that other parties
should be brought before the court, the court may cause
them to be summoned, whether they reside in the district
in which the court is held or not; and subpoenas to that
end may be served in any district by the marshal
thereof.
Section 6
Forfeiture of property in transit
Any property owned under any contract or by any
combination, or pursuant to any conspiracy (and being
the subject thereof) mentioned in section 1 of this
title, and being in the course of transportation from
one State to another, or to a foreign country, shall be
forfeited to the United States, and may be seized and
condemned by like proceedings as those provided by law
for the forfeiture, seizure, and condemnation of
property imported into the United States contrary to
law.
Section 6a
(Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act of 1982)
Conduct involving trade or commerce with foreign nations
Sections 1 to 7 of this title shall not apply to conduct
involving trade or commerce (other than import trade or
import commerce) with foreign nations unless
(1) such conduct has a direct, substantial, and
reasonably foreseeable effect
(A) on trade or commerce which is not trade or
commerce with foreign nations, or on import trade or
import commerce with foreign nations; or
(B) on export trade or export commerce with foreign
nations, of a person engaged in such trade or
commerce in the United States; and
(2) such effect gives rise to a claim under the
provisions of sections 1 to 7 of this title, other than
this section.
If sections 1 to 7 of this title apply to such conduct
only because of the operation of paragraph (1) (B), then
sections 1 to 7 of this title shall apply to such
conduct only for injury to export business in the United
States.
Section 7
"Person" or "persons" defined
The word "person", or "persons", wherever used in
sections 1 to 7 of this title shall be deemed to include
corporations and associations existing under or
authorized by the laws of either the United States, the
laws of any of the Territories, the laws of any State,
or the laws of any foreign country.
