antitrust lawsuits

Antitrust lawsuits are legal actions taken to promote fair competition and prevent monopolies in markets. They aim to stop companies from unfair practices, such as price-fixing, market division, or creating barriers for new competitors. These lawsuits help ensure that consumers have choices, fair prices, and access to new innovations. Governed by laws like the Sherman Act in the U.S., antitrust cases can be brought by the government or private parties who believe that anti-competitive behavior harms the marketplace. Ultimately, these lawsuits strive to maintain a healthy economy by fostering a competitive environment.
