Join the Hudson Institute for a discussion on the recent decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in FTC v. Qualcomm, which some have described as one of the most important antitrust cases of the twenty-first century. The discussion will be hosted by Hudson Institute Senior Fellow, Urška Petrovcic and feature leading legal experts and industry leaders.
In a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s ruling that Qualcomm violated antitrust law. The FTC has recently filed a petition for review of the panel decision by the entire Ninth Circuit en banc. This event will explore the substantive and procedural issues in the case.
Was the Ninth Circuit right in rejecting the district court’s conclusion that Qualcomm’s licensing practices were anticompetitive? Is the FTC’s petition for an en banc review likely to succeed? What are the guiding principles that the Ninth Circuit’s decision sets for the interplay between antitrust and intellectual property rights? Our speakers will address these and other questions.
Join Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for a fireside discussion on how Congress can guide American strategy, the need to modernize the defense industrial base, and the vital role of allies and partners in an unstable international environment.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Robert McDowell for a discussion of the book and communications law with the authors, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Kirk Arner, and Arielle Roth.
Please join Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Senior Fellow Ken Moriyasu for a discussion on Central Asia’s economic and strategic significance and why updating US trade policy is key to unlocking the region’s potential in an era of renewed great power competition.
