The Robinson-Patman Act, enacted by Congress in 1936, is concerned with discrimination in the prices charged by sellers to various customers. More business decisions are affected by the Act than any other antitrust law. Virtually every interstate sale and promotion of commodities through wholesale distribution and other channels is subject to its terms.

This law, like other antitrust laws, introduces uncertainty and complexity into the day-to-day operation of business. However, compliance with the antitrust laws is not an option.
