Partner Donald Pepperman Quoted by Law360 on California Antitrust Cases to Watch in 2022

Donald Pepperman, quoted by Law360 in a January 3, 2022 story about California cases to watch In 2022, said antitrust cases “send a clear message to these tech behemoths that their market dominance and acquisitions will be challenged and not go unchecked.”

“Waymaker LLP partner Donald R. Pepperman is keeping an eye on multiple antitrust lawsuits against tech giants that are playing out in California federal courts, including Fortnite creator Epic Games Inc.’s hotly contested case challenging Apple Inc.’s App Store fees, which went to a bench trial last spring.” Both sides have appealed elements of U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’ opinion.

Pepperman said Sherman Act antitrust cases are important because they test the boundaries and reach of the nation’s anti-monopoly laws in critical markets.
