Federal Antitrust Laws, Violations & Penalties

Three main federal antitrust laws exist in an effort to keep competition in the United States fair and to prevent monopolies. The Sherman Act of 1890, the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 and the Clayton Act of 1914 all contain federal antitrust laws that govern antitrust violations in the U.S. The Sherman Act, for example, is aimed at “…preserving free and unfettered competition as the rule of trade.” This is considered important in building and maintaining a thriving economy.

Actions designed and carried out with the intention of restraining trade, creating a monopoly or preventing fair competition are all actions that may be considered antitrust violations. Under the Sherman Act, an individual convicted of an antitrust violation may be sentenced to paying fines of up to $1 million, and a business may face fines of up to $100 million, along with a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
