In each of the last ten antitrust cases heard by the United States Supreme Court, either the petitioner or the solicitor general pointed to Hovenkamp as supporting the position the justices were being urged to take.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite web |url=http://www.news-releases.uiowa.edu/2009/april/042309hovenkamp.html |title=Law professor Hovenkamp lauded by former government official |access-date=2009-07-06 |archive-date=2009-09-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090910092820/http://news-releases.uiowa.edu/2009/april/042309hovenkamp.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Professor Hovenkamp’s writings have been cited in 36 Supreme Court decisions and more than 1300 decisions in the lower courts.

Thomas Hungar, deputy solicitor general of the United States from 2003 to 2008, has called Hovenkamp one of the prime shapers of antitrust legal interpretation by U.S. courts.<ref name=autogenerated1 />
