Abstract

In the Cephalon case, Judge Goldberg (ED Pa) denied defendants' summary judgment motions, sending the second reverse-payment-settlement case to trial. This short article analyzes the judge's decision, in particular addressing the appropriate liability standard under FTC v. Actavis and what constitutes a "large and unjustified" payment.

Keywords: patent, antitrust, pharmaceuticals, "large and unjustified," settlement, reverse payments, exclusion payments, Cephalon
