Partners Dan Foix and Carl Hittinger and Counsel Tyson Herrold authored a Feb. 27, 2023, article for Westlaw Today titled “The FTC considers reviving Robinson-Patman enforcement.”
The authors write that the Federal Trade Commission, which has not attempted to enforce Robinson-Patman in decades,“will look for what it views as a clear violation that it can use to create precedent and build enforcement.” But, they add, the FTC is “unlikely to receive a warm welcome in federal court.”
