Emory's $540M Deal Capped Decade of IP Litigation

Emory University General Counsel Kent B. Alexander sat at his computer July 21 and watched $540 million go into Emory's account. The money was Emory's take from selling royalty interests in a promising new HIV drug, Emtriva, and its offspring Truvada.

Door Opened to Foreign Victims of Vitamin Price Fixing

Billions of dollars in potential awards. A new map for antitrust litigation. And what many say is a likely spot on the U.S. Supreme Court docket. Empagran v. F. Hoffman-LaRoche has it all. A class action filed by foreign vitamin buyers, the suit is the latest round in the already-epic litigation over vitamin price fixing. At the root of Empagran are important questions about who can sue and who can be sued in U.S. courts for antitrust violations.

How to Get a Job at the Justice Department

Never one of the DOJ in-crowd, departing Deputy AG James Comey is apt to be replaced by a very different sort of lawyer -- one with references from Judge J. Michael Luttig, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia or Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
