Flannery is a nationally recognized trial lawyer who represents clients in complex patent and trade secret cases across a wide spectrum of technology areas. He has extensive experience acting as lead trial counsel in patent cases involving medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electronics, software and consumer products. Most recently, Mr. Flannery was co-counsel in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of SCA Hygiene Products, where in a 7-1 decision, the Supreme Court overturned 100 years of precedent, concluding that laches cannot bar the award of legal damages in patent cases. Other successes include winning a US$22 million jury award in a patent case (settled favorably prior to appeal), a favorable pre-verdict settlement after a two-week jury trial in a trade secret case, and a US$4.6 million jury verdict in a patent infringement case, which was affirmed on appeal. Mr. Flannery also represents branded clients in litigation under the Hatch-Waxman Act. On behalf of Endo Pharmaceuticals, he was part of the trial team that prevailed in a five-week bench patent trial against seven manufacturers of generic drugs, winning injunctions against all seven and protecting Endo’s sales of its OPANA® ER tablets, which at its peak was the company’s second highest-selling product with US$300 million in annual sales.

  • A Reparative and Restorative Approach to Funding City Services
    REVENUE FOR A JUST RECOVERY A Reparative and Restorative Approach to Funding City Services By Tax The Rich PHL March 2021 REVENUE FOR A JUST RECOVERY About Tax The Rich PHL Tax the Rich PHL is a campaign led by librarians, educators, parents, public workers, retirees, organizers and concerned residents, who believe that Philadelphia deserves fully-funded robust public services, paid for by the corporations, billionaires and institutions who have dodged paying their fair share for decades. This campaign was born during the COVID pandemic crisis, which highlighted the structural instability of our city’s budget and the need for strong city services that protect all Philadelphians. Tax the Rich PHL brings together long-term campaigns to fund robust city services and hold billionaires, corporations and large non-profit institutions accountable to pay their fair share. This report was researched and written by the research working group of Tax The Rich PHL. 1 A Reparative and Restorative Approach to Funding City Services Municipalities throughout the country have felt the weight of stifled tax collections and increased budget deficits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cities, including Philadelphia, never fully recovered from the Great Recession and are now exploring how to move forward after the Great Lockdown.1 This past year has solidified what we always knew to be true: our public services are the safety nets we rely on to weather social and economic emergencies. We also know that the COVID-19 pandemic did not create a need for our public goods and services, but it dramatically increased the demand and highlighted preexisting inequities.

In turn, the frequency of collection of member deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments has increased for providers. To ensure that these member liabilities are collected appropriately, Highmark Blue Shield has revised its policy that outlines the procedures for collecting member deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. This policy replaces the policy that was published in the June 2005 PRN (see “Deductible and coinsurance information available through various sources”). It permits facility, professional, and ancillary providers to collect the estimated member liability at the time of service. Highmark is a registered mark of Highmark Inc. Blue Shield and the Shield symbol are registered service marks of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an association of independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans. PRN Here are the procedures: 1. Provider is permitted to collect deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments at the time of service as long as these criteria are met: a. Provider has as a standard operating procedure the policy to collect from all patients the amount due at the time of service and that all patients are notified in advance of the policy in writing.
