An antitrust lawsuit is when the government sues one or more companies for unfairly dominating their market.

The word “trust” here means a group of companies working together to control an industry, making it hard for others to compete. Antitrust laws stop companies from doing this to ensure fair competition.

This promotes competition, leading to lower prices, more innovation, and better choices for consumers, which benefits the economy as a whole.
