| Antitrust |
 |
The antitrust laws apply to virtually
all industries and to every level of business, including manufacturing,
transportation, distribution, and marketing. They prohibit a variety
of practices that restrain trade, such as price-fixing conspiracies,
corporate mergers likely to reduce the competitive vigor of particular
markets, and predatory acts designed to achieve or maintain monopoly
power.
