Law360 Quotes Prof. Cotter on the DOJ’s Statement of Interest in FTC v. Qualcomm

Professor Tom Cotter was quoted in a Law360 story titled, “FTC Facing Qualcomm Alone as Trump Admin. Turns on Case.” The article discusses the recent filing of a Statement of Interest on behalf of the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Energy in support of a stay pending appeal in Federal Trade Commission v. Qualcomm, an antitrust case. (The FTC—an independent federal agency—won at trial, Qualcomm is now appealing, and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice is arguing that the decision was wrongly decided.) The article quotes Professor Cotter as stating that “it’s really, really unusual to have the two federal [antitrust] enforcers at odds with each other in such a public way.”
