Can superstar lawyer Tom Goldstein turn Epic Games v. Apple around like he did FTC v. Qualcomm and Oracle v. Google?

In FTC v. Qualcomm, Mr. Goldstein was able to benefit not only from the state of affairs of U.S. antitrust law in general but also from the defendant-friendly stance of Republican judges. In that case, even the lone Democrat on the panel was philosophically a Republican. For Epic it would be best to have at least two Democrats on the panel.

Arguably, Makan Delrahim--then the Antitrust Assistant Attorney General--deserved no less credit for Qualcomm's antitrust acquittal than Mr. Goldstein. His Antitrust Division's amicus briefs combined with national security arguments raised by other departments of the federal government got the FTC's injunction stayed, and the court agreed with his position that patent issues should be addressed under patent law if they can be. Qualcomm also got a number of other amicus briefs in support of its cause.

It would be terrific if the Biden Administration could now side with Epic against Apple, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
