How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that the ultimate price paid by each class member for a product is not the focus in a case alleging price-fixing
• stating that properly constructed multiple regression models are one of the most mainstream ways to estimate damages in antitrust litigation
• holding Illinois Brick “does not preclude a suit by a plaintiff who purchases directly from the alleged offender ... but buys a product which incorporates the price-fixed product as one of its ingredients”
• collecting cases and identifying multiple regression analysis as “one of the mainstream tools in economic study”
• rejecting defendants' contention that diverse products, markets, and pricing would prevent proof of an overarching conspiracy
• noting predominance test is met in antitrust case because “consideration of the conspiracy issue would, of necessity, focus on defendants’ conduct, not the individual conduct of the putative class members.”
