The Third Circuit held, among other things, that the FTC may not recover monetary relief under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act and that Noerr-Pennington’s subjective prong can be proven with evidence that the defendant was reasonable and no reasonable person would have thought a lawsuit would succeed. The U.S. Chamber filed an amicus brief supporting the first but not the second of those holdings.
