AEP has demonstrated
a unique ability to understand and apply economic principles to problems
involving pharmaceutical or chemical products and industries. In addition
to the application of economics and damages analysis to these complex
technologies, these cases often involve antitrust and intellectual property
issues.

Representative Assignments:
|
|
|
|
Developer
of Synthetic Protein Technology v. Biopharmaceutical Manufacturer
|
|
AEP prepared a damages
study for a developer of synthetic protein technology in connection
with a biopharmaceutical manufacturer's failure to perform a licensing
agreement for using the technology for protein synthesizers and protein
sequencers.

|
|
|
| DuPont
v. Abbott |
|
DuPont
sued Abbott for patent infringement with respect to monoclonal immunoassay
technology. AEP performed a damages analysis that was based in part on
a survey of laboratory purchasers of assay equipment. |
| |
|
|
| AlliedSignal
v. Atochem |
|
In
conjunction with another consulting firm, AEP personnel performed an economic
analysis on behalf of AlliedSignal's chemical division in its arbitration
claim against Atochem, a large French chemical manufacturer. The analysis
quantified damages because Atochem had breached a technology sharing agreement
by acquiring AlliedSignal's largest competitor in the United States. |

|
|
| Hematronix
v. Coulter Corp. |
|
Hematronix,
a manufacturer of reagents and chemicals used in hematology testing equipment,
filed an antitrust action against Coulter, one of the largest hematology
testing equipment manufacturers, for monopolization of the market for
reagents and other consumable chemicals used in hematology testing equipment.
AEP prepared a detailed analysis of antitrust liability as well as an
economic analysis of damages on behalf of Hematronix. The case settled
after AEP filed its expert report. |
