the second hot-dog vendor wants to offer customers lower prices, and the first says they can't because otherwise those hot dogs will be banned from their stand

It's more accurate to say that the plain hotdog vendor wants to sell the other vendor's hotdogs at a lower price at his own stand, thereby undercutting the sales of the first vendor for their own hotdogs.

not really, unless you're implying the fancy hotdog vendor paid for the development of said hotdogs, which they didn't
