In this chapter, the authors focus on contracts that reference rivals (CRRs), such as most-favored-nation provisions (MFNs), and provide a brief survey of past and current CRR cases, as well as the findings in economic literature. CRRs have been and will likely remain to be the subject of antitrust scrutiny in government and private litigation.
