Overview
Travis West authored an article for California Lawyers Association Antitrust & Unfair Competition Law E-Brief titled "District Court Weighs In on the Noerr-Pennington Doctrine and Anti-SLAPP Motions." The article examines a Northern District of California decision in Realtek Semiconductor Corp. v. MediaTek, Inc., where the court addressed the intersection of antitrust law, litigation immunity, and California’s anti-SLAPP statute. The ruling offers rare insights into how sham litigation and press releases may fall outside traditional protections under Noerr-Pennington and anti-SLAPP frameworks.
