| Volcano Incsource ↗ filed by Intellectual Property Consulting, LLC · Judge Gray M. Borden · No. 2:26-cv-02090 · 15:1125 Trademark Infringement (Lanham Act) · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Comparable rulings split: Doe v. Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived motions to dismiss on privacy/tracking theories, while Tower Health and Cisneros were dismissed on exemption or pleading grounds. No ruling squarely matches 'wiretap' claims in N.D. Ala., increasing uncertainty. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $115M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Apple $250M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — survived MTD on confidentiality/tracking-tech disclosure, closest analog for privacy claims surviving pleading stage. Main risk: Dismissal via statutory exemption or failure to plead concrete injury, as in Cisneros (BIPA financial-institution exemption) and Tower Health (Meta Pixel claim dismissed). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $75K–$12.50M Defendant identity is ambiguous (multiple unrelated 'Volcano' entities); class size and per-member figures are speculative given lack of direct precedent or prior records. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | N.D.
