9th Circuit Sets Dec. 6 Oral Argument in FTC v. Microsoft/Activision

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled in-person oral argument Dec. 6 at 9 a.m. PST in San Francisco in the FTC’s appeal to reverse the district court’s denial of its preliminary injunction to block Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard buy, said a text-only notice Friday (docket 23-15992). Counsel will have the option to appear in-person or remotely, and opting to appear remotely by video won’t require a motion “at this time,” said the notice. Each side will get 20 minutes of argument, said a 9th Circuit calendar entry.
