Atl. Richfield Co. v. USA Petroleum Co.

In Atl. Richfield Co. v. USA Petroleum Co., 495 U.S. 328, 331, 110 S. Ct. 1884, 1887 (1990), the U.S. Supreme Court held as follows:

“

This case presents the question whether a firm incurs an "injury" within the meaning of the antitrust laws when it loses sales to a competitor charging nonpredatory prices pursuant to a vertical, maximum-price-fixing scheme. We hold that such a firm does not suffer an "antitrust injury" and that it therefore cannot bring suit under § 4 of the Clayton Act, 38 Stat. 731, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 15.
