Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Class Action

QVAR Antitrust Settlement
Teva allegedly violated antitrust laws by improperly listing patents in the FDA's Orange Book and engaging in product hopping to delay generic competition for QVAR and QVAR Redihaler inhalers, causing consumers and third-party payors to overpay for the brand-name drug. Teva denies all allegations and maintains it did nothing wrong.

AMEX Antitrust Settlement
American Express had rules in its merchant agreements that prohibited merchants from encouraging customers to pay with a different card that charged lower fees. Plaintiffs alleged these anti-steering rules caused merchants to raise prices to cover Amex fees, resulting in all customers—including those not using Amex cards—paying more. American Express denies wrongdoing.
