C&EN Editor,
RE: Questioned Deals In Europe, C&ENews, 88(3), January 18, 2010, p6. &
FTC Seeks Ban On Pay-For-Delay Deals, C&ENews, 88(3), January 18, 2010, p22.
When an individual offers to not release information about another individual in exchange for money (e.g., the David Letterman incident), it is called extortion.
When a generic pharmaceutical maker agrees to not release its own, legal product in exchange for money from the original patent holder, it is called business.
What am I missing?
Regards,
J. R. Madden
