Antitrust laws in the United States, such as the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act, primarily focus on preventing anti-competitive practices like contracts and conspiracies in restraint of trade, attempts to monopolize a market, and mergers that substantially reduce competition. They also address unfair or deceptive acts of competition. However, not all forms of quality discrimination are restricted by these laws. Quality discrimination can sometimes be a legitimate business strategy that does not necessarily violate antitrust laws, as long as it does not result in unfair competition or harm to the consumer market.
