Section 2(a) of the Robinson-Patman Act prohibits price discrimination through sales to two or more purchasers. To prove a violation, the plaintiff must show that the seller charged different prices for the same product to two or more purchasers, and that the price discrimination had a "competitive injury" effect. Unilateral refusal to deal, group boycott, and willful monopolizing are not elements of direct price discrimination under the Robinson-Patman Act.
