The FTC and State Case Against Amazon Highlights Risks and Impacts from Using Pricing Algorithms

Both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division have focused their sights on big technology companies. Understanding the precedents set by these suits is critical for clients operating in today’s online marketplaces, both to avoid the risk of antitrust investigations or litigation, and to understand whether a client has been harmed by potentially unlawful conduct.  A September 30, 2024 decision by Judge Chun in the Western District of Washington in the FTC v. Amazon.com case—unsealed to the public on October 7, 2024—demonstrates the increasing breadth of the agencies’ antitrust theories and the wide impacts of Amazon’s sprawling pricing algorithms.*

FTC Announces New Premerger Notification Form

On October 10, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), with the concurrence of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, (the “DOJ”, and together, the “Agencies”) voted unanimously to adopt new premerger notification rules (the “Final Rule”) that implement the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). The Agencies had previously announced proposed amendments on June 27, 2023, which we covered in a previous insight. The Final Rule reflects numerous changes made during a lengthy review and comment period, including a thorough revamping of the Premerger Notification and Report Form (the “New Form”) that parties are each required to complete if their transaction is reportable under the HSR Act.
