The federal Consumer Goods Pricing Act of 1975 rendered state fair-trade laws invalid. State fair-trade laws allowed manufacturers to set a minimum price at which their products could be sold, which restricted price competition among retailers. The Robinson-Patman Act (1936) and the Clayton Act (1914) were not affected by the Consumer Goods Pricing Act of 1975. State unfair-trade laws were not necessarily invalidated by the act.
