Potential Advantages of Jury Trials for Biotech Companies
As a plaintiff: Juries can deliver large awards when the company demonstrates clear harm, such as patent infringement or anticompetitive behavior by rivals. Examples include:
Regeneron securing a ~
$407 million antitrust jury verdict against Amgen over PCSK9 inhibitors.
Emotional or narrative appeal: Juries can be swayed by stories of innovation, patient impact, or corporate misconduct by opponents. They sometimes award higher damages than judges in cases with sympathetic facts.
Leverage for settlement: The threat of an unpredictable jury can push opponents to settle favorably before trial. Public validation: A jury win can boost credibility, attract investors, or deter future challenges in a competitive field.
