Each firm will present an oral argument on behalf of a different interested party (the Brand, the Generic, the FTC and a public class). The Judges will hear argument, retire to conference the case, and return to the bench with their decision. They will also answer any questions related to the mock argument and their deliberations in the case conference. The hypotheticals are based on the Actavis case and creative solutions to try to avoid violating the Antitrust Laws. In FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION v. ACTAVIS, INC.,133 S. Ct. 2223 (2013), the Supreme Court ruled that settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit between a Brand and Generic that involves large sum payments by the Brand to the Generic in exchange for delay of the Generic entering the market (so called "pay for delay" or "reverse payment" settlements) may be subject to a rule of reason antitrust analysis (explicitly rejecting the "quick look" and the "scope of the patent" analysis).
