Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.

More on how this was screened
The Supreme Court abrogated its patent-market-power presumption in Illinois Tool Works Inc. v. Independent Ink, Inc.; the D.C. Circuit limited use of its per se tying framework for platform software. Both confirmed treatments are listed below. Jefferson Parish’s general market-power requirement remains part of tying analysis.
891 later cases cite Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde; 75 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

The D.C. Circuit confined Jefferson Parish's per se tying framework for platform software, vacated per se liability, and required rule-of-reason review.
United States v. Microsoft Corp. · D.C. Circuit · filed
We hold that the rule of reason, rather than per se analysis, should govern the legality of tying arrangements involving platform software products. ... Jefferson Parish, 466 U.S. at 9 (emphasis added). But there are strong reasons to doubt that the integration of additional software functionality into an OS falls among these arrangements.
