• There will be a keynote address by FTC Commissioner Tom Rosch, who has interesting views on the ever contentious patent settlement issues.  Rosch is expected to say something new and noteworthy that will provide guidance on future enforcement.
• A panel will address pharma mergers and market definition, with two of the leading FTC attorneys in the pharma merger area: Elizabeth Jex and Matt Reilly.
• There will be a panel on pharma settlements with Suzanne Michel, the new FTC Policy Director.
• Another panel will concern legislative issues, with the latest on patent settlement legislation.  The panel features the legislative assistants of Senator Kohl and Senator Specter, leading proponents and opponents of the pending legislation.
