The acknowledgement does not constitute an acceptance of the sales contract. Let`s take a look at the major antitrust laws in the United States. The core of U.S. cartel legislation was created by three statutes: the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890, the Federal Trade Commission Act – which also created the FTC – and the Clayton Antitrust Act.

Antitrust laws prohibit illegal mergers and business practices in general, so the courts must decide, on the basis of the facts of the case, which are illegal. The courts have applied antitrust laws to changing markets, from a period of horses and strollers to today`s digital age. But for more than 100 years, antitrust legislation has pursued the same fundamental objective: to protect competition for the benefit of consumers, to ensure that companies have a strong incentive to work effectively, to keep prices low and to keep quality informed. In 1890, Congress passed the first Cartel Act, the Sherman Act, as a “global charter of economic freedom, which seeks to preserve free competition and free competition as a commercial rule.” In 1914, Congress passed two other cartel laws: the Federal Trade Commission Act, which created the FTC, and the Clayton Act. With a few revisions, these are the three federal fundamental agreement laws that are still in place today. Many countries have comprehensive laws that protect consumers and regulate the way businesses operate. The aim of these laws is to create a level playing field for similar companies operating in a particular sector, while preventing them from having too much power over their competition. Simply put, they prevent companies from getting dirty for profit. These are cited in terms of cartels and abuse of dominant position.
