Amazon beat a lawsuit accusing the firm of violating antitrust law by curbing competition for shipping and fulfillment services.
The prospective class action suit was one of several private and state actions accusing Amazon of breaking competition laws.
Two members of Amazon Prime filed a lawsuit in 2021, accusing Amazon of illegally "tying" sales of third-party products to its own fulfillment program.
- The class action sued for unspecified monetary damages and sought an "injunction to prohibit Amazon from continuing its unlawful conduct."
- Amazon's legal team argued that third-party businesses, rather than consumers, had purchased the fulfillment services.
- U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled on Thursday that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated why they should be allowed to sue Amazon over its fulfillment operations.
