'On January 15, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Minnesota, and Illinois filed a lawsuit against Deere & Company (Deere). The complaint, which Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona have since joined, accuses Deere of creating and maintaining a repair services monopoly and engaging in anticompetitive business practices that interfere with farmers’ rights to repair their Deere agricultural equipment in violation of federal and state antitrust laws. The complaint centers on Deere’s diagnostic and calibration tool, Service ADVISOR, which is only fully functional for Deere authorized dealers and repair facilities.' https://www.regulatoryoversight.com/2025/03/ftc-states-sue-john-deere-in-right-to-repair-lawsuit/ Wonder, though, whether the Trump Administration will continue the action- given that it has quite a different vision of antitrust law? #righttorepair #uslaw #uspol
