15 In Eastern R.R. Presidents Conference v. Noerr Motor Freight, 365 U.S. 127 (1961), the Supreme Court applied first amendment considerations to exempt from the Sherman Act the collective efforts of an association of railroads to lobby Congress for preferential rates. In UMW v. Pennington, 381 U.S. 657 (1965), the Court held that joint efforts by a labor union and by employers to lobby the Secretary of Labor were exempt from the Sherman Act on similar grounds. Together, the cases are cited for the proposition that collective political action is not subject to antitrust laws.

16 Until Goldfarb, it was presumed by many that the “learned professions” were exempt from the Sherman Act, which limits itself to “trade or commerce.” Goldfarb, however, stated that the learned professions were not necessarily exempt from the Sherman Act and held that a schedule of minimum fees that had been adopted by a county bar association restrained competition in violation of the Act. Goldfarb v. Virginia State Bar, 421 U.S. 773 (1975).

27 Under the doctrine of primary jurisdiction, an antitrust proceeding can be stayed so that a regulatory agency can assess facts and issues within the agency's special competence. Under the implied immunity doctrine, a regulated activity that is necessary to promote the objectives of the regulatory statute is exempt from antitrust law.
