Two amicus briefs filed in support of Humira® antitrust legislation

Oct 12, 2020

Two amicus briefs were filed in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the plaintiffs in the Humira® (adalimumab) antitrust legislation UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund v AbbVie, Inc. The US Public Interest Research Group jointly filed its brief with Consumer Action, arguing that AbbVie’s conduct was anticompetitive, and that the District Court’s decision should be overturned. In its brief, the Open Markets Institute argued that the District Court should have evaluated AbbVie’s patent applications and lawsuits as a series of sham filings.
