Penalty Amount
$29,600,000
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and a bipartisan coalition of states reached a $29.6 million settlement with Glenmark, a generic drug manufacturer accused of conspiring with other pharmaceutical companies to inflate prices and limit competition for numerous generic prescription drugs. The settlement requires Glenmark to cooperate in ongoing multistate litigations and implement internal reforms to ensure fair competition and antitrust compliance.
Glenmark will pay $29.6 million, cooperate in ongoing multistate litigations 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 pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers for any clauses related to pricing, market allocation, or information sharing that could raise antitrust concerns. Specifically, contracts should be examined for provisions that might facilitate collusion, such as agreements to share competitively sensitive pricing data, restrict output, or allocate markets. Additionally, any cooperation or settlement agreements with government entities should be reviewed to ensure compliance with ongoing litigation requirements and internal reform mandates.

Attorney General Dan Rayfield and a coalition of 21 attorneys general and Pennsylvania filed lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Transportation, FMCSA, and AAMVA to block demands for a database containing personal information of 17 million commercial drivers. The federal government threatened to withhold $10 million in funding unless the data was turned over, which the coalition argues violates privacy law.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield co-led a coalition of 10 states in a federal lawsuit against the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to block a rule that invalidates state laws requiring mortgage lenders to pay interest on escrow accounts. The lawsuit argues the OCC's rule oversteps federal authority, gives national banks a competitive advantage over state-chartered banks, and takes money away from homeowners.
A federal judge ruled that Nexstar Media Group violated a court order requiring it to keep TEGNA Inc. operating as an independent company while a multistate antitrust lawsuit challenging the merger proceeds. The court found that Nexstar installed its own executives on TEGNA's board, failed to disclose the appointments, and lacked candor with the court. The court ordered Nexstar to comply immediately, file status reports, respond to discovery, and turn over board and financial documents, with a special master to oversee compliance.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, joined by a coalition of 23 other states, the District of Columbia, and two governors, sued the Trump administration to block a new policy by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) that would allow federal officials to access private records of millions of TANF recipients. The coalition argues the policy illegally shares sensitive personal data, including Social Security numbers and immigration status, with other federal agencies and private organizations, violating the Administrative Procedure Act and the Spending Clause. The lawsuit seeks to declare the policy illegal and block it from taking effect.
