E.U. raids Major Drug Companies

by @ 4:00 pm.  Filed under Pharma News

Wow! I read today that the EU performed raids on almost all the major drug companies on Wednesday. This includes Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithhKline, Astrazeneca, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson.

E.U. raids drug companies in broad inquiry

The authorities are looking for evidence of abuse of patents and illegal deals to keep cheaper generics off the market. Here is a quote form the article.

The raids will help establish if companies created barriers to competitors, whether they misused patent rights or engaged in “vexatious litigation” and if some firms abused their dominance of the market.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this if anything. I’ll but we don’t hear anything else about this for months but I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes open for further information.
