Opinion

Choi: The FTC is overstepping antitrust authority and blocking tech M&A

“We've seen with the FTC that they're overstepping on antitrust and thus not enabling any M&A to happen.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated

Horowitz: Tech M&A will shift toward IP transactions over traditional acquisitions

“I think M&A will happen, but it may happen more in the form of IP transactions and that kind of thing than as traditional M&A.”
