"the lack of availability of generic drugs... is due... to pay-for-delay settlements."

"My Fair Generics Act would make the exclusivity privilege available to subsequent filers if the first filer bargained the privilege away in a pay-for-delay settlement."

"What our bill would do is fairly simple. It provides subsequent filers with an exclusivity period if the first filer relinquishes that privilege in a pay-for-delay deal."
