antitrust litigation cases

Antitrust litigation refers to legal cases aimed at promoting competition and preventing monopolistic practices in the marketplace. These cases often involve allegations that companies have engaged in unfair practices, such as price-fixing, market division, or the abuse of market power. The goal of antitrust laws is to protect consumers by ensuring that businesses compete fairly, which leads to better prices, quality products, and innovation. Notable cases, like the U.S. government's lawsuit against Microsoft in the late 1990s, illustrate how antitrust actions can shape entire industries and safeguard fair competition.
