blank
 restraint against trade.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the type of restraint that occurs when two parties at different levels in the manufacturing and distribution process make an agreement that restrains trade. 
Option 1: horizontal. This would involve competitors at the same level (e.g., two manufacturers or two retailers) colluding to restrain trade. Since the parties are at different levels, this option describes a different kind of restraint, not the scenario given.
Option 2: vertical. A vertical restraint involves agreements between firms at different levels of the supply chain, such as a manufacturer and a distributor, to restrict trade. This matches the described situation of parties at different levels in manufacturing and distribution.
Option 3: lateral. This term is not standard in antitrust terminology for describing restraints between business partners; it does not accurately capture the cross-level relationship described in the question.
Option 4: corresponding. This option does not correspond to a recognized category of trade restraint in antitrust context and is not relevant to the described vertical relationship.
Option 5: regulatory. Regulatory refers to laws or agencies governing conduct, not to a private agreement between two firms; it does not describe a restraint arising from a private contract between levels of the supply chain.
In summary, the scenario of an agreement between entities at different levels of the production and distribution process best aligns with a vertical restraint, while the other options either describe different relationships or are not standard terms in this context.

When two parties at different levels in the manufacturing and distribution process make an agreement that restrains trade, they have made a ________ blank restraint against trade.
