BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.source ↗ filed by Keller Postman LLC · Judge Chad Francis Kenney Sr. · No. 2:26-cv-06109 · 28:1332 Diversity-Product Liability · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾ Tracking-technology privacy claims against healthcare-adjacent defendants have split outcomes: Bayhealth's confidentiality claim survived MTD, while Integris left state privacy claims unclear and Gunnar Optiks required factual development rather than dismissal. No wiretap ruling here is squarely favorable, reflecting genuine doctrinal uncertainty on pixel/tracking claims. Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $59.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google Assistant $68M · Google LLC and Alp $68M Per member (realized): ~$30 median · $29–$30 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. matters most because it recognized a duty of confidentiality for healthcare-adjacent data disclosure via tracking tech, a close analog to pharma website tracking claims. Main risk: Dismissal on lack of interception/consent theory or failure to show 'contents' were captured, as seen in Integris's unclear state-law outcome and GunnerOptiks's threshold factual disputes. This defendant: Six near-identical filings (Ginzo, Isaacs, Taylor, Dillinger, Rivera, Rhinebarger) indicate coordinated plaintiff-side pixel/tracking litigation against BI, raising consolidation and MDL risk. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $1.25M–$52.50M Small comparable sample, no wiretap-specific ruling directly on point, and actual BI class size/tracking mechanism undisclosed—figures are illustrative, not predictive. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts	Filing	Privacy & Wiretap	E.D.
