Los Angeles Business Litigation Lawyer Discusses California Antitrust Law
The Cartwright Act is California’s principal state antitrust law. It is intended to prevent anti-competitive activities, and it reflects the same concepts as federal laws found in the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act. To provide further protection to businesses within our state, the Cartwright Act works in conjunction with the federal statutes. Our Los Angeles business litigation lawyer is knowledgeable about state and federal business laws and antitrust laws, and he will work with you to protect your business.
Attorney Robert G. Klein has more than 25 years of experience with business law including, copyright infringement, intellectual property and trade secrets litigation. He can help you create solutions to protect your business and livelihood.
Cartwright Act Prohibits Antitrust Activities
The Sherman Act prohibits only “restraints of trade.” Comparatively, the Cartwright Act restricts specific activities, including these prohibited actions:
- Price Discrimination: different prices to different buyers for comparable goods
- Group Boycotting: competitors allying to boycott any specific entity
- Exclusive Dealings: requiring the use of one supplier for all (or most) of a certain product
- Tying: conditional selling dependent on the purchase of another product or service
- Market Division Scheme: competitors allying to divide resources such as territories or customers
- Price Fixing: competitors allying to set one price for any product, commodity or service
