Judge Lucy Koh Tapped for 9th Circuit in Latest Batch of Biden Judicial Nominees
If ever there was a poster child for judicial activism in the service of government cronies - it’s Lucy Koh.
...
And Judge Koh’s latest really big ruling – was omni-directional awful.

Judge (Lucy) Koh’s Qualcomm Coup:
“Her sweeping antitrust ruling kneecaps the firm and 5G competition.”
Judge Koh’s ruling didn’t just kneecap Qualcomm – it kneecapped any patent holder anywhere in the world doing business in the United States.
...
Appeals Court Throws Out Antitrust Ruling:
“A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (unanimously) reversed a 2019 ruling by a federal judge who found that Qualcomm had abused its monopoly position in wireless chips and overcharged mobile phone makers for its patents….
...
“In a 56-page ruling, the judges concluded that Qualcomm had no duty under antitrust law to license its competitors. They also ruled that Qualcomm’s policy of not supplying chips to any handset maker that had not licensed its patents did not work like an illegal surcharge on chips sold by competitors.
“‘Anti-competitive behavior is illegal under federal antitrust law,’ the judges wrote. “Hyper-competitive behavior is not.”
The Ninth Circuit totally obliterated Koh’s ruling - and her alleged legal thinking behind it.
