Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc.

Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. was a Supreme Court case deciding whether stores could set minimum prices for their products, known as resale price maintenance. The Court ruled that such agreements should be judged by antitrust laws based on their impacts rather than automatically being illegal. This decision shifted the standard from presuming they’re illegal to a more case-by-case assessment, encouraging manufacturers and retailers to collaborate on pricing strategies without violating competition laws. It emphasized that carefully managed resale price policies can sometimes benefit consumers by maintaining product quality and brand value.
