Anyone have an easy summary of what all was dismissed? This story is surprisingly light on details. (Did I just miss them?)

From what I have read, the pieces that were dismissed are still sealed so we don't know yet.

  The ruling is linked in another thread. The last two pages outline what all is dismissed. My naive read is that a lot of the claims were dismissed already. I have no idea if that is normal or not. I also assume nobody really expected the entire case to get dismissed? I am interested in reading an analysis of this.

    Only four of the twenty counts were dismissed (motion to dismiss granted), and only half of one claim was dismissed with prejudice. The remaining three dismissed claims can be amended and resubmitted to the court. All the federal claims stand. This is definitely not a win for Amazon.

      I was going on the naive count of GRANTS at the last page of the ruling. So, was about 6 of the 12 parts of the summary at the end. Which makes it sound like a lot. :D Still, I did not mean to imply it was most or even a majority. I didn't think anyone expected the case to be dismissed in full. I have no idea what the impact of getting States items dismissed is, all told.

All of the federal counts move forward, some of the counts relating to specific states who joined the lawsuit are dismissed. > Last week, before the order was unsealed, some of the initial coverage called it a “partial victory” for Amazon, but as it turns out, the portion of the ruling in which the company was victorious was relatively slim. > The areas where the judge granted Amazon’s motion to dismiss were related to specific aspects of state claims, including elements of allegations brought by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Maryland. Eighteen states and one territory, Puerto Rico, joined the FTC in the lawsuit against Amazon. https://www.geekwire.com/2024/unsealed-order-in-amazon-antitrust-case-lets-entire-ftc-case-proceed-dismisses-some-state-claims/ https://www.geekwire.com/2024/unsealed-order-in-amazon-antit...
