Abstract

This roundtable explores issues presented by "reverse payment" settlements by which brand-name drug companies pay generic firms to delay entering the market. Kent Bernard, Karen Bokat, Michael Carrier, Howard Morse, and Eric Stock explore the history of the settlements, potential legislation, future enforcement efforts, activity in Europe, anticipated market behavior, and predictions about the Court's ruling in FTC v. Actavis.
