Commissioner Terrell McSweeny of the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday said it would be wrong for enforcers not to focus on patent holders in the standard-setting process, offering a bright contrast to recent policy pronouncements made by U.S. Department of Justice leadership.
McSweeny issued a statement addressing recent criticisms made by the DOJ’s antitrust chief and others saying that enforcers have spent too much energy focusing on the so-called patent holdup problem.
