Claim Form
Case Name
In re: Solodyn (Minocycline Hydrochloride) Antitrust LitigationCase No. 1:14-md-02503
U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
Case Summary
The lawsuit alleges Defendants, delayed the availability of an allegedly less-expensive generic version through allegedly anticompetitive agreements with the other Defendants. Plaintiffs (those who brought the suit) allege that Defendants did so through the unlawful settlement of patent lawsuits in which the patents covering Solodyn were in dispute. Plaintiffs claim that Defendants’ actions denied End-Payors who paid for Solodyn® the benefits of competition and caused them to pay higher prices for Solodyn® than they otherwise would have.
Defendants deny these claims and deny they did anything wrong. No court or other authority has found that Defendants engaged in any wrongdoing. This notice is not an expression of any opinion by the Court as to the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims or the defenses asserted by Defendants.
