antitrust violation cases

Antitrust violation cases occur when companies engage in practices that unfairly reduce competition in the marketplace. This can include actions like price-fixing, where businesses agree to set prices at a certain level, or monopolizing, where one company eliminates competition to dominate a market. Such behavior can lead to higher prices, less innovation, and fewer choices for consumers. Antitrust laws are designed to protect fair competition and ensure a healthy economy. Government agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S., investigate and take action against companies that violate these laws.
