Helsinn V. Teva: A Big Blow To Small Pharma, Anureet Sandhu
Helsinn V. Teva: A Big Blow To Small Pharma, Anureet Sandhu
Loyola Consumer Law Review
In Helsinn v. Teva, the Supreme Court held that Congress did not alter the meaning of "on sale" when it enacted the LeahySmith America In vents Act and, therefore, an inventor's sale of an invention to a third party who is obligated to keep the invention confidential may qualify as prior art. The Court relied upon precedent which suggested that a sale or offer of sale need not make an invention available to the public to qualify as prior art. Instead, the on-sale bar only required that the invention be the subject of a commercial offer for sale and ready …

Deception Unknown: A Hard Look At Deceptive Trade Practices In The Video Game Industry, Elad Botwin
Deception Unknown: A Hard Look At Deceptive Trade Practices In The Video Game Industry, Elad Botwin
Loyola Consumer Law Review
The video game industry is rapidly growing and reaching more people, adults and children alike, across the world. There have been only a handful of legal actions regarding deceptive trade practices by companies in the video game industry. There has been only one government ruling that has substantively reviewed a game over representations regarding its features - the United Kingdom's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruling on the game No Man's Sky in November 2016. The dearth of legal action in this area and the shortfalls in the ASA investigation boil down to a fundamental lack of rules and guidance for …

The Law Of The Middle Class: Consumer Finance In The Law School Curriculum, Adam J. Levitin
The Law Of The Middle Class: Consumer Finance In The Law School Curriculum, Adam J. Levitin
Loyola Consumer Law Review
America is defined by its broad middle class, but the middle class is virtually absent from the law school curriculum. Law school courses deal with general concerns (contracts, torts, property, and taxes), the concerns of the rich (trusts and estates), and occasionally the law of the poor, but there are no courses dedicated to the financial concerns of the middle class. This Essay argues 'that the defining feature of the American middle class is its reliance on credit to finance its essential purchases: a home, a car, and an education. The law of the middle class is the law of …

Antitrust Analysis Of Nopec Legislation, Harry First, Darren Bush
Loyola Consumer Law Review
This Article analyzes the proposed "No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act of 2019" (NOPEC). This legislation, which was introduced in the United States Senate and House of Representatives, addresses the antitrust issues involved in suing the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), their member states and their state owned oil companies (SOEs), other states and their SOEs, and private companies for their participation in an international cartel that has long been involved in regulating the production and distribution of oil and other petroleum products. It is our view that this proposed legislation provides a relatively moderate approach to …

Commissioning The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Jolina C. Cuaresma
Loyola Consumer Law Review
There has been much debate over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's lack of executive and congressional oversight: its single director removable only for cause and its operations are not subject to appropriations. This paper explains how this very leadership and accountability structure-intended to politically insulate the agency-had the perverse effect of politicizing it. Since Director Cordray's departure, there has been increased regulatory uncertainty, discouraging financial innovation and harming consumer welfare. This paper recommends that Congress restructure the Bureau into a multi-member, bipartisan commission to provide industry regulatory predictability and ensure that consumer protection retains its independent seat in the financial …

Scouring Muddied Waters: Towards Clarifying The Cfpb's "Abusive" Practices, Michael R. Faz
Loyola Consumer Law Review
While this Article was pending publication, several events unfolded altering the landscape of the abusive power. As a preliminary note, during the pendency of publication several dispositions changed-either by court order or agreement between the parties. Next, in June 2019, Director Kraninger kicked off the Bureau's symposium series by holding an open forum over the abusive power. The symposium consisted of two panels: one focusing on policy, composed of law professors, and one focusing on practical application, comprised of practicing attorneys in private and government practice. Both panels were intellectually stimulating and presented diverging views. In the policy panel, major …
Connecting The Dots: Quality, Antitrust, And Medicine, Theodosia Stavroulaki
Connecting The Dots: Quality, Antitrust, And Medicine, Theodosia Stavroulaki
Loyola Consumer Law Review
Antitrust applies to healthcare. Questioning the wisdom of this universal truth, medical professionals actively insisted and still insist on professional discretion, self-regulations and other practices that violate the antitrust laws. What do medical professionals aim to achieve by resisting the application of antitrust into their profession? What do antitrust enforcers aim to achieve by applying antitrust law to the medical profession? The answer is simple. Among others, both antitrust enforcers and medical professionals aim to ensure quality. Interestingly, albeit their goal is identical, their approach is different. Why? This essay explores this enigma by analyzing some seminal healthcare antitrust cases. …
