In re Keurig Green Mountain Single-Serving Coffee Antitrust Litigation, Southern District of New York, MDL No. 2542. In June 2014, Judge Vernon S. Broderick appointed PW to serve as interim co-lead counsel on behalf of indirect purchaser plaintiffs in this multidistrict class action litigation. The case arises from the alleged unlawful monopolization of the United States market for single-serve coffee packs by Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. Keurig’s alleged anticompetitive conduct includes acquiring competitors, entering into exclusionary agreements with suppliers and distributors to prevent competitors from entering the market, engaging in sham patent infringement litigation, and redesigning the single-serve coffee pack products in the next version of its brewing system to lock out competitors’ products. PW and co-counsel recently obtained final approval of a $31 million settlement.
