In the consulting world, experience is essential. One of the defining pillars of our team is our 500+ years combined experience. Every case provides an opportunity to add to our wealth of knowledge.
With the creation of ever-increasing amounts of data, innovation continues to be an equally important component of our service.
In October, Infotech, Inc. sponsored a three day Hack-A-Thon, an intensive collaboration session bringing talent together from across Infotech to foster innovation. This year Infotech Consulting proposed the development of software to tailor and create customer name and address databases, a key component of class certification data work.
This unique product will provide many benefits to our clients; efficient data work, improved class member identification and expedited claims processing.
This product is the culmination of experience and innovation – solving a real-world problem faced by our clients by bringing our years of experience together with the innovative, solutions-oriented team within the walls of Infotech. The utility is now in the second stage of development with the goal of a prototype available in 2019.

What questions can be answered with statistical modeling? We say, “All of them!” And our colleagues around the world agree.
Want to know what basketball team will win March Madness this year? Model it!
Want to know if your bidders are acting competitively? Model it!
Want to find out if our elections were hacked? Model it!
All you need is the right data. That’s where Infotech Consulting comes in. Collecting, mining, sorting, testing, verifying, understanding, and extracting information from data is what we love to do. With quadrillions of bytes of data produced daily, there is certainly no shortage of information. The efficient processing of overwhelming amounts of information is essential to our practice.
We specialize in not only finding and utilizing relationships within data but also finding data resources to expand that understanding. We find the signal in the noise and make the complex simple.

As we head into 2019, there have been a wide variety of court decisions in pay for delay antitrust cases since the 2013 Actavis Supreme Court decision. These decisions grapple with key economic and legal issues such as causation, antitrust injury and ascertainability.
One of the central economic questions in these cases involves the economic inferences that can be made based on the type and size of a reverse payment. I grappled with these same issues during my six years as an FTC economist analyzing pay for delay cases. As part of the team that developed the Commission’s policy in this area we also developed appropriate economic and financial tools that can be used to analyze the likely competitive effects associated with certain types and sizes of reverse payments. These same economic and financial tools can also benefit legal practitioners currently working on pay for delay cases.
For example, standard and well accepted financial techniques can be used to evaluate the relationship between the size of the payment and the length of time that the generic firm is incentivized to delay its entry. This type of analysis generally shows that relatively small reverse payments can be used to incentivize generic firms to substantially delay their entry.
However, the actual relationship between size of payment and incentive to delay depends on various factors, such as: market growth, the discount rate, and the relevant but for world.
Careful evaluation of these market factors is crucial towards developing a reliable economic model that can be used to not only support a finding of liability and antitrust injury, but also form a basis for measuring damages and evaluating common impact.
