Casino Games and Antitrust — UPDATED

UPDATE: Link to opinion below. A federal district court judge recently decided an interesting antitrust/ IP case involving “wheel game” slot machines.  IGT sued Bally’s in 2004 for allegedly infringing a number of patents on a “wheel game” slot machine.  Bally’s initially prevailed, winning a pair of summary judgment rulings on the validity of IGT’s ...

Or that hedge funds are there to scoop it up. Huang and Gao, Capitalizing on Capitol ... Trading all around the beltway

The EU tightens the noose around Google

Here we go again.  The European Commission is after Google more formally than a few months ago (but not yet having issued a Statement of Objections). For background on the single-firm antitrust issues surrounding Google I modestly recommend my paper with Josh, Google and the Limits of Antitrust: The Case Against the Antitrust Case Against ...

The SEC’s crackdown on efficient markets

TiVo v. EchoStar: A study in abusing the courts instead of just respecting the patent

On November 9, the en banc US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard oral arguments in an extremely important patent infringement case (mp3 of oral argument here).
