Judge denies Amazon’s, Apple’s motions to dismiss class action price-fixing suit

A federal judge has rejected Apple's and Amazon's motions to wholly dismiss a consumer antitrust lawsuit, one that accuses the tech giants of colluding to eliminate all but the highest-price Apple products in Amazon's online store. Writing in Seattle (PDF), Judge John C. Coughenour noted that Apple and Amazon do not dispute the existence of their agreement, which was publicly touted by the companies in November 2018. Nor do they argue that it had an "effect on interstate commerce," as required by a lawsuit making a complaint under the Sherman Act.
