Antitrust laws legislate against business practices that undermine competitiveness or are considered to be unfair. The term "antitrust" derives from U.S. legislation that was originally formulated to combat business trusts--now commonly known as cartels. There are three major federal antitrust laws: the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act. Essentially, these laws prohibit business practices that unreasonably deprive consumers of the benefits of competition, resulting in higher prices for inferior products and services. The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) share responsibility for enforcing antitrust laws. This one-hour course enables participants to recognize the basic provisions of antitrust legislation and how they are enforced.
