The Supreme Court has delivered a number of important verdicts, with a few more on the way. One such decision important to the health-care industry is on so-called pay-for-delay tactics.
When a drug's patent protection is in dispute, and generic-drug companies routinely challenge the patents of high-profile drugs, a Big Pharma can essentially settle the case by paying a generic-drug company off to not produce a low-cost version of its product, at least for a little while.
In this video, health-care analyst David Williamson takes a look at how this decision alters pay-for-delay, how it affects Big Pharma and generic-drug makers, and what it all means for investors.
