Reverse Payment Settlements: Explaining “Large and Unexplained” | ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting 2018

The 66th Annual ABA Antitrust Spring Meeting will take place April 11-13, 2018 in Washington, DC. The three-day conference will bring together more than 3,000 practitioners from 60 countries to learn from an esteemed group of government enforcers, private practitioners, in-house counsel, and academics.

Edgeworth President & CEO Dr. John Johnson is to speak on the panel, “Reverse Payment Settlements: Explaining 'Large and Unexplained.'" In Actavis, the Supreme Court ruled that a “large and unexplained” payment from brands to generics may be evidence of anticompetitive conduct. Dr. Johnson and his fellow panelists will examine post-Actavis lower-court decisions that have shed contradictory views, probing issues such as expected litigation costs, expected profits from continued sales, and the value of contemporaneous business transactions.
