Prescription Drug Importation: An Expanded Fda Personal Use Exemption And Qualified Regulators For Foreign-Produced Pharmaceuticals, Elliott A. Foote 2015 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

Prescription Drug Importation: An Expanded Fda Personal Use Exemption And Qualified Regulators For Foreign-Produced Pharmaceuticals, Elliott A. Foote

Loyola Consumer Law Review

High-priced prescription drugs have been a problem for U.S. consumers. The United States market economy coupled with patent protection for these products creates an incentive for pharmaceutical companies to charge as much as possible. Unable to afford these drugs, many people are reaching out to neighboring countries and abroad to seek lower-cost options. It has also created a market for online mail-order pharmaceuticals. Despite the need for these drugs, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) continues to make importation illegal. In formulating its policy, the FDA cites to safety and innovation concerns. Claimed uncertainty about the source of foreign prescription …

Troubleshooting Legal Malfunction: Lexmark And Consumer Standing Under The Lanham Act, 48 J. Marshall L. Rev. 453 (2015), Jeremy Rovinsky 2015 UIC School of Law

Troubleshooting Legal Malfunction: Lexmark And Consumer Standing Under The Lanham Act, 48 J. Marshall L. Rev. 453 (2015), Jeremy Rovinsky

UIC Law Review

This article suggests that the recent Lexmark decision, while resolving the confusion relating to Lanham Act standing requirements, does nothing to protect those most vulnerable—the consumers. Congress must explicitly declare that consumers have standing under the Lanham Act when they have been damaged by purchasing falsely represented goods or services. Section I provides a history of the Lanham Act and illustrates how different courts initially allowed and then precluded consumers from bringing claims under Section 43(a)’s “any person” language. Section II critiques the opinions that have found no consumer standing, including the Supreme Court’s recent Lexmark decision. Section III highlights …

Consumer Cloud Robotics And The Fair Information Practice Principles: Recognizing The Challenges And Opportunities Ahead, Andrew Proia, Drew Simshaw, Kris Hauser 2015 University of Nevada, Las Vegas -- William S. Boyd School of Law

Consumer Cloud Robotics And The Fair Information Practice Principles: Recognizing The Challenges And Opportunities Ahead, Andrew Proia, Drew Simshaw, Kris Hauser

Scholarly Works

Rapid technological innovation has made commercially accessible consumer robotics a reality. At the same time, individuals and organizations are turning to "the cloud" for more convenient and cost-effective data storage and management. It seemed only inevitable that these two technologies would merge to create cloud robotics, "a new approach to robotics that takes advantage of the Internet as a resource for massively parallel computation and sharing of vast data resources." By making robots lighter, cheaper, and more efficient, cloud robotics could be the catalyst for a mainstream consumer robotics marketplace. However, this new industry would join a host of modern …

Defending State Exemptions In Bankruptcy, Tristan G. Axelrod 2015 Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Fla. Hon. Erik Kimball

Defending State Exemptions In Bankruptcy, Tristan G. Axelrod

Loyola Consumer Law Review

Throughout the past century’s cyclical battles for bankruptcy reform, legislators and scholars have debated the need for federal control over bankruptcy estate exemptions. Millionaire criminals and Wall Street hucksters shielding assets from creditors provide perennial fuel for the argument that bankruptcy exemptions inspire systemic abuse. Few legislators, scholars, or pundits, however, have investigated the actual economic and social policy wisdom in state-specific exemptions as they affect the lives of millions of Americans. This Article examines the origins and policy implications of state-specific exemption laws and argues in favor of limited federal deference to state law.
