ABSTRACT
In 1914, Section 2 of the Clayton Act prohibited certain forms of price discrimination. It was amended in 1936 by the Robinson-Patman Act to protect businesses against certain types of price discrimination. The act was born from the belief that large firms could pressure retailers for price concessions not available to smaller firms. This act afforded protection and the potential for substantial awards to firms that often become victims of price, advertising, and service discrimination.
