The case of Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. (2007) overturned precedent regarding resale price maintenance, substituting the rule of reason treatment for the per se analysis. The Court's decision allowed manufacturers to impose minimum resale prices on retailers without facing automatic condemnation under antitrust laws. This change shifted the burden of proof to plaintiffs, who must now show that such agreements are anticompetitive based on market conditions and the relevant effects on both consumers and competition.
