Penalty Amount
$29,600,000
Attorney General William Tong led a coalition of 48 states and territories in a $29.6 million settlement with Glenmark, a generic drug manufacturer, to resolve allegations of a widespread conspiracy to artificially inflate prices, reduce competition, and unreasonably restrain trade for numerous generic prescription drugs. The settlement includes cooperation from Glenmark in ongoing multistate litigations and internal reforms to ensure fair competition and compliance with antitrust laws.
Glenmark must pay $29.6 million, cooperate in ongoing multistate litigations, and implement internal reforms to ensure fair competition and compliance with antitrust laws. Consumers who purchased certain generic prescription drugs between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019 may be eligible for compensation.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with generic drug manufacturers for clauses related to pricing, market allocation, and competition. Specifically, contracts should include robust antitrust compliance provisions, prohibitions on price fixing and market division, and requirements for cooperation with regulatory investigations. Additionally, customer agreements with pharmacies and healthcare providers should be reviewed for any terms that could be construed as anti-competitive, such as exclusive dealing arrangements or resale price maintenance clauses. Employee agreements and training programs should also be updated to emphasize antitrust law compliance and reporting mechanisms for potential violations.
