DoorDash seeks dismissal of Uber lawsuit | TechCrunch
Briefly

DoorDash has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from Uber accusing it of stifling competition through intimidation tactics against restaurants. DoorDash deems the suit a 'scare tactic' and insists it competes fairly. Uber's original complaint alleges DoorDash coerces restaurants into exclusive agreements by threatening penalties or reducing their visibility on the app. Uber argues this undermines true competition, asserting it will defend its claims in court. Additionally, DoorDash made an offer to purchase European delivery firm Deliveroo for $3.6 billion.
DoorDash claims Uber's lawsuit is a 'cynical and calculated scare tactic' from a rival avoiding real competition and that it will defend itself vigorously.
Uber argues DoorDash's tactics threaten restaurants with penalties and coercively force them into exclusive agreements, undermining fair competition.
