III. REGULATION OF PRICE COMPETITION.

The article presents legal developments in marketing with particular focus on the regulation of price competition. One of the developments describes the case of H.J. Heinz Company v. Beech-Nut Life Savers Inc., which shows the difficulties presented by the Robinson-Patman Act in cases involving price discrimination. Another development discusses the U.S. Supreme Court case of United States v. Parke, Davis & Co., which limits the allowable methods used by manufacturers in coercing retailers to maintain the resale prices in states without fair trade laws and state having fair trade laws without non-signer provisions.
