The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has rejected a bid by alleged patent troll Cascades Computer Innovation to revive an antitrust lawsuit claiming that Samsung, patent aggregator RPX and others used their monopsony power over Cascades’ patent rights.

In its complaint, Cascades alleged that the defendants participated in a conspiracy to monopolize the market to license Cascades’ patents, in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and California unfair competition laws.
