  • recognizing anti-competitive dangers of forbidding selective, but non-predatory, price cutting
  • recognizing anti-competitive dangers of forbidding ___ selective, but non-predatory, price cutting
  • recognizing anti-competitive dangers of forbidding selective, but non-predatory, price cutting
  • “evidence of a violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, showing injury only to competitors, does not automatically show a violation of the Sherman Act as well”
  • where favoritism in prices for certain dealers was not likely to concentrate the relevant market or drive smaller dealers out, the fact that a disfavored dealer was harmed did not render a price discrimination agreement unreasonable under Sec. 1
  • not discussing the Morton Salt rule, but noting that “unlike the Sherman Act, which protects ‘competition not competitors,’ ... the [Robinson-Patman] Act protects those who compete with a favored seller, not just the overall competitive process.” (emphasis in original)
