Settlement Agreements May Give Rise To Antitrust Liability - 01/26/05
Antitrust and Trade Regulations
January 27, 2005

On January 5, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in In re: Terazosin Hydrochloride Antitrust Litigation ruled that a settlement agreement between Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") and Geneva Pharmaceuticals ("Geneva"), which partially resolved a patent dispute, constituted market allocation and was a per se violation of the Sherman Act.
