Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined a 48-state coalition in a $29.6 million settlement with generic-drug manufacturer Glenmark to resolve allegations of a widespread conspiracy to artificially inflate and manipulate prices, reduce competition, and restrain trade for numerous generic prescription drugs. The settlement requires Glenmark to cooperate in ongoing multistate lawsuits and implement internal reforms to ensure compliance with antitrust laws.
Glenmark will pay $29.6 million nationally, including $187,000 to Minnesota, cooperate in ongoing multistate lawsuits against 33 corporate defendants and 25 individual executives, and implement internal reforms to ensure fair competition and compliance with antitrust laws.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with generic drug manufacturers for any clauses that could facilitate price fixing or market allocation, such as pricing coordination, information sharing, or non-compete provisions. Customer agreements should be examined for pricing terms and any provisions that might restrict competition. Employee contracts and confidentiality agreements should be updated to prohibit discussions with competitors about pricing, market share, or customer allocation. Additionally, compliance programs should include antitrust training and reporting mechanisms for potential collusion.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed an opposition to X.AI's motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to block enforcement of Minnesota's anti-nudification law, which bans commercial platforms from allowing users to generate synthetic intimate images of real people.
