Third Circuit Upholds Pharmaceutical Loyalty Discount Program | Practical Law
In Eisai, Inc. v. Sanofi Aventis U.S., LLC, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rejected claims that Sanofi Aventis's discount program for certain drugs sold to hospitals constituted illegal de facto exclusive dealing under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 3 of the Clayton Act, and state antitrust law. The court also found that the predatory pricing price-cost test did not apply to the conduct at issue.
