Axon Enterprise will seek to appeal a federal court ruling that dismissed the police equipment maker’s case challenging the Federal Trade Commission’s structure, reported Bloomberg Law.
Judge Dominic Lanza of the US District Court for the District of Arizona threw out Axon’s case April 8 after ruling that the company must first proceed through the FTC’s internal administrative court before attempting to challenge the agency through federal court proceedings.
Axon filed its notice of appeal April 13 with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
According to Axon’s website,they are seeking to protect its Constitutional rights to due process and equal protection under the law and vindicate its acquisition of Vievu, a small, failing body-worn camera company. Axon is also seeking to expose the unfair and unconstitutional procedures and structures employed by the FTC to extract unjustified remedies.
According to Axon, they decided to file the lawsuit after it became clear that the FTC is seeking to deprive Axon of its intellectual property without due process, setting an unprecedented ultimatum that should send a message to the nation’s technology-based industries.
