Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described is an example of exclusive dealing, in which a supplier offers special incentives to a distributor or retailer to carry only their products and not those of their competitors. This can be illegal if it substantially reduces competition in the market. Tying arrangements and monopolistic practices are related concepts but do not accurately reflect the scenario presented. Territorial infringement and requirement contracting are not relevant to the scenario.
