1. Today the Federal Circuit rejected Teva's bid to list device patents for inhalers in the Orange Book. Practically this means that drug makers can't list patents for things like inhaler caps to block generic rivals from the market & keep prices high. A big win for Americans.

FTC Chair Lina Khan shows Lesley Stahl an asthma inhaler that costs dollars in Europe but hundreds in the U.S. She says drugmakers register patents on inhaler parts like the cap-strap to keep low-cost generics off the market. cbsn.ws/3zuONT2

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on an incredible win and a courageous, principled campaign. People are hungry for a government that is relentlessly focused on improving their lives, even when it means standing up to corporate power and moneyed interests.

Thanks to @CopyrightOffice, McDonald’s franchisees now have the right to repair their own ice cream machines. In March @FTC filed a comment in support of this change, and we’ll keep using our tools to protect people’s right to repair. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

1. People rely on online reviews to make informed purchases and compare products. When companies use fake reviews, consumers get misled and honest businesses lose out. Today @FTC finalized a rule to prohibit fake reviews. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been followed by significant price hikes and layoffs, harming both gamers and developers. As we’ve seen across sectors, increasing market consolidation and increasing prices often go hand-in-hand. As dominant firms become

In March 2023, Microsoft told a court, "Game Pass prices will not increase as a result of the [Microsoft-Activision] Merger." On July 10, 2023, a federal judge (whose son works at Microsoft!) rejected the FTC's challenge to the merger. Once again: Lina Khan was right.

Always great to see Senator @BernieSanders to chat about taking on oligarchs and monopolists.

A great reminder that letting startups grow into independently successful businesses, rather than be bought up by existing giants, can generate enormous value. A win for employees, investors, innovation, and the public.

While investigating @Adobe for deceptive subscription practices, we discovered an executive admitting that hidden early termination fees are “a bit like heroin” for the company. Subscription tricks and traps have surged as more firms become dependent on subscription-based

It’s been an extraordinary honor to serve the American public as @FTC Chair. As I wrap up my record-keeping obligations and other administrative requirements, I will depart the Commission by January 31. I wish Chair Ferguson and the Commission the best of luck.

To recap: Firms have been making people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription, trapping Americans in needless bureaucracy and wasting their time & money. @FTC began writing a “click-to-cancel” rule promoting efficient cancellation, a rulemaking process that
