Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major problems that courts have to deal with that violate the Sherman Act in the context of implied agreements established by circumstantial evidence are intra-enterprise conspiracy (when two or more actors within a single company conspire to fix prices or restrain trade) and conscious parallelism (when firms in the same industry independently adopt similar pricing or business strategies). Option A is incorrect because restraint of trade is not a problem that violates the Sherman Act on its own - it is only problematic if it is the result of a conspiracy. Option C and D are incorrect because class action suits are not specifically related to antitrust violations, and conscious parallelism is the relevant problem to consider in this context, not class action suits.
