A key ruling in TikTok’s lawsuit challenging the US “sale or ban” law, a trial in Arm v. Qualcomm litigation over chip-licensing and oral arguments in a Canadian Pacific bondholder appeal in a $2.4 billion suit over redemption rights are litigation catalysts to watch in December. In this Votes and Verdicts episode, Bloomberg Intelligence senior litigation analyst Elliott Stein gathered colleagues to discuss these and other themes. These include expected verdicts in DOJ v. Google over ad tech, in the FTC’s suit in Oregon against the Kroger-Albertsons merger and in a $750 million PCB contamination trial against Bayer/Monsanto. Also discussed were President Biden’s plan to cover anti-obesity drugs under Medicare and Medicaid, deregulation in the financials sector and why crypto is poised to do well with Trump’s victory.
