Case Initial Text 1

Did you purchase an eBook from Barnes & Noble since 2017? You likely overpaid due to an illegal price-fixing scheme. Fill out the form to find out your consumer rights to potential payback »

Hagens Berman is investigating Barnes & Noble eBook sales in a widespread, national price-fixing scheme. The scheme has driven up the online prices of eBooks at Barnes & Noble, forcing consumers to pay higher prices for books from Barnes & Noble.

ABOUT THE PRICE-FIXING

We believe consumers have been the victim of an antitrust violation. Antitrust agreements take place when multiple corporations within the same market use their collective power and force to interfere with the free market. In this instance, our attorneys believe that the online price of eBooks sold by Barnes & Noble have been artificially inflated, leading consumers to overpay. If the price-fixing scheme didn't exist, prices would be lower due to increased competition.

YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS

Our investigation would ultimately seek reimbursement for the fraudulent price increases pushed onto consumers. Hagens Berman believes that those who unknowingly paid high prices for products sold by Barnes & Noble deserve compensation for the greed and wrongdoing of major corporations.
