Flat Panel Display Case Survives Motion to Dismiss

A Northern District of CA federal district court judge recently rejected motions to dismiss in a number of consolidated cases alleging price fixing among flat panel display producers.  Although the court required the plaintiffs to amend the complaint to add more specific allegations in some circumstances, it held that the complaint generally was sufficient to satisfy Twombly because the plaintiffs alleged “complex and unusual pricing practices . . . which cannot be explained by the rules of supply and demand.”  As an early application of the Twombly standard for alleging a conspiracy, this could be an interesting case to watch.
