Life Sciences Antitrust Conference
As we proceed through 2021, the spotlight on antitrust activity in the life sciences industry shines brighter than ever. For several years, state and federal antitrust enforcers in the U.S. and even international antitrust and competition authorities have been watching the life sciences industry closely for anticompetitive activity. The Biden Administration is now forming its new competition policy and there is pending antitrust legislation which will unquestionably affect the life sciences industries. At the same time, the U.S. DOJ has just confirmed that they are developing new policies to prevent patents from being used as tools for anticompetitive practices, a recent series of criminal antitrust investigations have been brought by federal and state authorities alleging generic price fixing collusion, and a novel multinational task force has just been put in place to examine the anticompetitive impact of life sciences M+A activity. All of these new changes are raising life sciences antitrust concerns to an all-time high, and could significantly increase the volume of litigation for IP and antitrust trial lawyers and their clients.
