"At trial, the Antitrust Division argued that Sabre’s acquisition of Farelogix would extinguish a crucial constraint on Sabre’s market power and would result in higher prices and less innovation.

We will closely review the court’s opinion and consider next steps in light of our commitment to preserving competition for the benefit of the American consumer."

This week, the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division celebrates the 20th anniversary of World Intellectual Property Day.

(United States Third Circuit) - Vacated an administrative decision ordering a lawful permanent resident removed from the United States for having committed an aggravated felony. The man, a trader at a financial services firm who pleaded guilty to a securities law violation, argued that his crime was not truly an aggravated felony under the Immigration and Nationality Act and therefore he should not be removed. Finding merit in his argument, the Third Circuit granted his petition for review and remanded the case to the Board of Immigration Appeals for further proceedings.

(United States Third Circuit) - Denied an alien's petition for review of a decision ordering him removed from the United States. The Board of Immigration Appeals had ruled that the citizen of Cameroon, who entered the U.S. on a student visa in 1989, was ineligible for waiver of removal because his felony conviction of making false statements about a sham marriage constituted a crime involving moral turpitude. On appeal, the Third Circuit agreed that the man was not eligible for a fraud waiver, and thus denied his petition for review.
