I removed the following paragraph from the article:
It seems to be outside the scope of the topic. The Noerr-Pennington doctrine only applies to antitrust cases, not to tort cases or other frivolous lawsuits, and the "sham proceedings" exception should only be discussed as it applies to the Noerr-Pennington doctrine. The preceeding paragraph might be better suited to the abuse of process article. -- Â BD2412 talk 17:15, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
Actually, that is incorrect. Noerr-Pennington has been applied to abuse of process suits. Brownsville Golden Age Nursing Home, Inc. v. Wells, 839 F.2d 155, 159-60 (3d Cir.1988).
