Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[Birdbrain Ideas]

Wow! Just WOW! First, thanks CaptBeer and Lizzy for letting us all see this. I'm not a lawyer, but I've read or listened to thousands of arguments like these over the last four decades.

The Amarin lawyer, I think, hit a home run here. Unlike the mumbling, confused comments he made before the magistrate judge, he responded beautifully this time. And it was needed because the judge seemed to be buying a lot of the generic lawyer's arguments, right up until he wasn't.

This is my favorite quote from the judge from Page 77 as he shot down Health Net's argument with a bullet to the heart: "And, you know, I just listened for a long time on the generic’s not responsible, and you’re saying you’re not responsible, and so I think, in fact, there is going to be, you know, a significant amount of use of the generic drug to perform the patented method. And essentially everyone is saying nobody’s responsible."

He gets it! He really gets it!

And when he said he didn't even need to hear Amarin's response to the Health Net arguments, he could not have made it more clear that Health Net is staying in this litigation too.
