Resale Price Maintenance (RPM) is a vertical pricing strategy where manufacturers set minimum prices at which retailers can sell their products. This practice aims to maintain brand value, prevent price wars, and ensure fair competition among retailers. While RPM can benefit both manufacturers and retailers by preserving profit margins and encouraging investment in customer service, it has been a subject of antitrust scrutiny. The legality of RPM varies across jurisdictions, with some countries considering it per se illegal and others evaluating it under a rule of reason approach. In the United States, the Supreme Court's 2007 Leegin decision overturned the longstanding per se prohibition on RPM, allowing for a more nuanced assessment of its competitive effects. If you're a manufacturer or retailer grappling with RPM issues, Ott Law Firm's experienced attorneys can provide tailored guidance to help you navigate this complex area of antitrust law.

Resale Price Maintenance (RPM) allows manufacturers to maintain control over their product's pricing, ensuring it aligns with the brand's image and perceived value. This practice helps prevent erosion of brand reputation due to excessive discounting, which can lead consumers to question the quality or exclusivity of the product.
By implementing RPM, manufacturers can motivate retailers to invest in better customer service and product promotion. When retailers are assured of a consistent profit margin, they are more likely to allocate resources towards improving the shopping experience, providing product education, and offering superior after-sales support.
RPM can help mitigate destructive price wars among retailers, which can lead to reduced profits and potentially drive smaller retailers out of business. This practice fosters a more stable market environment, allowing both large and small retailers to compete on factors other than price, such as service quality and product knowledge.
