Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc., 551 U.S. 877 (2007), is a US antitrust case in which the United States Supreme Court overruled Dr.

Leegin, a manufacturer of leather apparel, concluded that its interests would be best served by opting out of a price war "race to the bottom," focusing instead on quality and brand cachet.

Miles became an outlier almost as soon as it was decided; the court started moving away from per se rules in antitrust, both generally[2] and in the particular area of vertical restraints.

[3] After a brief mid-century period in which the court imposed a more social goals-oriented jurisprudence,[4] the court tacked to an understanding of antitrust based on allocative efficiency, primarily under the influence of Robert Bork's book The Antitrust Paradox.

This trend continued in cases like Continental Television, Inc. v. GTE Sylvania, Inc. (1977), State Oil Co. v. Khan (1997), and Verizon Communications Inc. v. Law Offices of Curtis V. Trinko, LLP (2004).
