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.
