Ultra Bond has announced that in its lawsuit against State Farm and Lynx Services from PPG, Judge Robert Blackburn of the Federal District Court in Denver denied the defendants' motions to dismiss the unfair and deceptive trade practices and the tortious interference with prospective advantage and contractual relations.

According to an Ultra Bond news release, the antitrust claims were dismissed without prejudice because Ultra Bond attempted to limit this lawsuit only to the repairable windshield market for State Farm's customers, and did not include all insurance claims for cracked windshields with similar restrictions (six inches) as adopted by State Farm. The suit now moves into discovery with the Deceptive Trade Practices (a consumer protection act) and Tortious Interference.
