Per se is a legal term meaning 'by itself' or 'in itself.' In the context of antitrust law, it refers to certain actions or practices that are considered inherently harmful to competition, without needing to prove any further negative effects. This principle simplifies the legal process, as some activities are automatically deemed unlawful due to their nature, rather than requiring extensive evidence of harm.
