John Deere concorda com acordo de US$ 99 milhões em processo sobre monopólio de reparos

A fabricante de equipamentos agrícolas John Deere concordou em pagar US$ 99 milhões para encerrar uma ação coletiva movida por clientes. O processo alegava que a empresa restringia o acesso a ferramentas de reparo para seus tratores e outros equipamentos, criando um monopólio no mercado de consertos. O anúncio foi feito na segunda-feira.

A John Deere anunciou na segunda-feira que pagará US$ 99 milhões para resolver a ação coletiva movida por seus clientes. Os autores da ação acusaram a fabricante de tratores de bloquear o acesso independente a ferramentas de diagnóstico e serviços de reparo para seus equipamentos agrícolas. Essa prática, alegaram, forçou os agricultores a depender exclusivamente de concessionárias autorizadas, conferindo efetivamente à John Deere o controle sobre os reparos. O acordo aborda anos de oposição da empresa às iniciativas de direito ao reparo, que visam permitir que os proprietários consertem seus próprios produtos ou utilizem serviços de terceiros. Defensores do consumidor saudaram o pagamento, mas argumentam que ele não é suficiente para resolver totalmente as questões. Nenhuma admissão de culpa foi incluída no acordo, como é comum em tais resoluções. O caso destaca as tensões contínuas no setor agrícola sobre os custos de manutenção de equipamentos e a independência dos agricultores.
