1Opinion of the CourtJustice Powell
Franchise agreements between manufacturers and retailers frequently include provisions barring the retailers from selling franchised products from locations other than those specified in the agreements. This case presents important questions concerning the appropriate antitrust analysis of these restrictions under § 1 of the Sherman Act, 26 Stat. 209, as amended, 15 U. S. C. § 1, and the Court’s decision in United States v. Arnold, Schwinn & Co., 388 U. S. 365 (1967).
