antitrust case law

Antitrust case law refers to legal cases that address unfair business practices that limit competition. These laws aim to prevent monopolies and promote fair competition in the marketplace. When companies engage in practices like price-fixing, market division, or abusive mergers, they can be challenged in court under antitrust laws. The goal is to protect consumers by ensuring they have choices and access to fair prices, fostering innovation and economic growth. Notable laws include the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act, which provide the framework for addressing anti-competitive behavior.
