Bona Law’s Luis Blanquez Nominated for Concurrences Antitrust Writing Award
January 17, 2026
Bona Law attorney Luis Blanquez has been nominated for the Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards for his article “Algorithmic Pricing : Part 1 : New DAI Case, First Appellate Decision, and the Greystar Settlement. The Show Goes On!; Part 2: First Appellate Decision, Settlement, and New Legislation. The Show Goes On!”
The first part of his article discusses the Dai v. SAS Inst. Inc., No. 24-CV-02537-JSW (N.D. Cal. July 18, 2025) case. This new case confirms the high standard required to survive a motion to dismiss for antitrust claims involving algorithmic pricing. In addition to providing sufficient facts about the nature of the information shared with the software provider and the way defendants share such information, plaintiffs must also explain how that same information was later commingled and integrated into final pricing recommendations.
The second part of his article dives into the first appellate decision in the US dealing with algorithmic pricing, and the recent Greystar Settlement, where the company agreed to (1) stop using algorithmic pricing tools that rely on non-public data from competitors and to (2) avoid participating in RealPage-hosted meetings with other landlords.
