Abstract
In Leegin, the SCOTUS overturned its previous decision in Dr. Miles by holding that minimum resale price maintenance (“RPM”) between a manufacturer and its downstream dealers/retailers now must be analyzed under the rule-of-reason standard under federal antitrust law. This article discusses the economic implications of this change in the legal treatment of RPM which presumably will provide manufacturers more flexibility to establish such agreements with downstream entities.
