Clayton Antitrust Act

Read a random definition: doctrine of curative admissibility

A quick definition of Clayton Antitrust Act:

The Clayton Antitrust Act is a law in the United States that was created in 1914 to stop big companies from being too powerful and controlling the market. It makes it illegal for companies to do things like charge different prices to their competitors, force other companies to only buy from them, or merge with other companies to reduce competition. If a company breaks this law, people who were hurt by their actions can sue them for three times the amount of money they lost and make them stop doing it. The law doesn't apply to labor unions, though.

A more thorough explanation:

The Clayton Antitrust Act is a law in the United States that was passed in 1914. It is one of the most important laws that helps prevent companies from becoming too powerful and controlling the market. The law was created to make the Sherman Antitrust Act stronger and more effective.

The Clayton Antitrust Act makes it illegal for companies to do certain things that could hurt competition. For example:

  • Charge different prices to different companies for the same product
  • Force a company to only buy from them and not from their competitors
  • Merge with another company if it would make it hard for other companies to compete
  • Be on the board of directors for two competing companies

If a company breaks the Clayton Antitrust Act, they can be sued by other companies or individuals who were harmed by their actions. The penalty for breaking the law is usually money, but sometimes a judge can order the company to stop doing what they were doing.

One example of a company that was sued for breaking the Clayton Antitrust Act is Microsoft. In the 1990s, Microsoft was accused of using its power to force computer manufacturers to only use its web browser, Internet Explorer, and not other browsers like Netscape. This made it hard for Netscape to compete and eventually led to its downfall. Microsoft was sued and had to change its practices.

Another example is when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Qualcomm, a company that makes chips for smartphones. The FTC accused Qualcomm of charging different prices to different companies for its chips, which made it hard for other chip makers to compete. Qualcomm was sued and had to change its practices.

These examples show how the Clayton Antitrust Act helps keep competition fair and prevents companies from becoming too powerful.
