FTC Request to Reconsider Qualcomm Antitrust Case Rejected by Appeals Court

A federal appeals court on Wednesday refused to reconsider its
decision earlier this year to throw out a government antitrust case
against Qualcomm Inc.
The Federal Trade Commission had alleged the dominant cellphone
chip maker engaged in illegal monopolization, but a three-judge
panel on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in August
that the government hadn't proven its case.
The FTC asked the Ninth Circuit to re-hear the case with more
judges participating. The court denied that request without comment
Wednesday, a move that deals a near-final blow to the commission's
case.
The commission's only remaining option would be to seek review
from the Supreme Court.
