The Robinson-Patman Act, also known as the Anti-Price Discrimination Act, was passed in 1936 to prevent large retail chains from receiving discounts or favorable pricing that would put smaller stores at a competitive disadvantage. The law prohibits price discrimination between purchasers of commodities of like grade and quality, unless it is based on cost differences or an equivalent in savings due to differences in the cost of manufacture, sale, or delivery.
