Contest Results
The
Seventh Annual Manne Moot Court Competition
for Law and Economics was a great success!
The problem involved the settlement of a
patent law suit between two pharmaceutical
manufacturers, which allowed the patent
holder to maintain its monopoly in return
for payments to a competitor seeking to
market a generic alternative. Competitors
had to help the Court of Appeals for the
Thirteenth Circuit determine whether the
settlement constituted an unlawful restraint
of trade.

The teams from the Ohio
State University Moritz College of Law
and Brooklyn Law School
advanced to the final round where they argued
in front of a distinguished panel including
Judge Dyk, United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit, Judge Glickman,
D.C. Court of Appeals and Maureen Ohlhausen,
an adjunct professor at George Mason School
of Law and a former Director at the Federal
Trade Commission.
