A class action complaint sufficiently alleged that Uber’s pricing algorithm amounted to price-fixing among drivers, according to a district court in Manhattan. The Department of Justice persuaded a district court to block a bankruptcy proceeding bid by the publisher of the Los Angeles Times to purchase rival local daily newspapers, arguing that the combination would lead to a monopoly.
Other recent antitrust developments of note include the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit’s ruling that a network of hospitals was not a single entity for antitrust purposes, as the district court decided, but rather separate entities capable of conspiring in violation of the Sherman Act and a district court decision that a plaintiff could not pursue claims of a patent licensing conspiracy once the patent was found not to have been infringed.
