I continue to look for coverage of the FTC lawsuit against Wyndham, a topic I’ve covered in a number of blog posts. I’m glad to see that my uploading some of the court documents may have encouraged or facilitated discussion. Adam M. Veness of Mintz Levin discusses the FTC’s response to Wyndham’s motion to dismiss:
