Indivior Inc. et al. : Case No. 16-cv-5073 : __________________________________________: STATE OF WISCONSIN : By Attorney General Brad D. Schimel, et al. : : CIV. A. NO. 16-5073 Plaintiffs, : v. : : INDIVIOR INC. f/k/a RECKITT BENCKISER : PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., et al. : : Defendants. : __________________________________________: Goldberg, J. November 24, 2020 MEMORANDUM Defendant Reckitt Benckiser, Inc. (“Defendant”) manufactures Suboxone, a drug commonly used to combat opioid addiction.1 Suboxone previously came in tablet form, but in 2010, citing safety concerns, Defendant effectuated a change in the administration of this drug, switching from tablet to sublingual film. Various purchasers/consumers of Suboxone claimed that this switch was anticompetitive and solely designed to maintain Defendant’s market exclusivity—a scheme known as a “product hop.” These claims have resulted in multi-district, antitrust litigation before this Court. 1 Reckitt is currently known as Indivior, Inc. In December 2014, Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was demerged from its prior parent, the Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, into Indivior PLC. Although Indivior is technically the named defendant in this case, the pleadings and many of the relevant exhibits use the name “Reckitt.” As discovery and class certification litigation have come to a close, the parties have raised numerous challenges under Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993), seeking exclusion of all or selected portions of nine expert witnesses anticipated opinions. This Opinion explains my reasoning for the resolution of these motions and will hopefully set forth a clearer path towards trial.

  • FREDERICK ('ERIC') RANDALL SMITH Bsc, Phd(Edin), FRSC Eric
    FREDERICK ('ERIC') RANDALL SMITH BSc, PhD(Edin), FRSC Eric Smith was responsible for research activities in Duncan Flockhart Ltd, T & H Smith Ltd and Edinburgh Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd during the period 1947 to 1971. He and his colleagues made several lasting contributions to medicine and commerce notable amongst which were the creation of a new opiate industry based on large scale poppy growing in Australia, the establishment of dihydrocodeine ('DF118') as a major analgesic, and the discovery of 'Bitrex', an intensely bitter substance, now a widely used denaturant. He was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1962 and served on Council 1969-71. Born in Edinburgh on April 4th, 1911, Eric spent his childhood, his school and university days, and most of his working life and retirement in or near to the City. He died there on November 4th, 1994. Eric's enquiring attitude to life owed much to his father. This unusual man earned his living in the Actuarial Department of the Scottish Provident Institution but his main interests were astronomy and art. He was an FRAS and his personal observations led to his name being given to a minor lunar crater, and a good enough artist for his works to be hung in the Royal Academies in Edinburgh and London. Perhaps this is why Eric chose to be a scientist and his sister an art teacher. Eric was educated at the Edinburgh Institution (later named Melville College) where he was an excellent scholar and a good enough sportsman to play for the 1st XV and the FPs.

  • Drugs of Abuseon September Archived 13-10048 No
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION WWW.DEA.GOV 9, 2014 on September archived 13-10048 No. v. Stewart, in U.S. cited Drugs of2011 Abuse EDITION A DEA RESOURCE GUIDE V. Narcotics WHAT ARE NARCOTICS? Also known as “opioids,” the term "narcotic" comes from the Greek word for “stupor” and originally referred to a variety of substances that dulled the senses and relieved pain. Though some people still refer to all drugs as “narcot- ics,” today “narcotic” refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic substitutes. A more current term for these drugs, with less uncertainty regarding its meaning, is “opioid.” Examples include the illicit drug heroin and pharmaceutical drugs like OxyContin®, Vicodin®, codeine, morphine, methadone and fentanyl. WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN? The poppy papaver somniferum is the source for all natural opioids, whereas synthetic opioids are made entirely in a lab and include meperidine, fentanyl, and methadone. Semi-synthetic opioids are synthesized from naturally occurring opium products, such as morphine and codeine, and include heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone. Teens can obtain narcotics from friends, family members, medicine cabinets, pharmacies, nursing 2014 homes, hospitals, hospices, doctors, and the Internet. 9, on September archived 13-10048 No. v. Stewart, in U.S. cited What are common street names? Street names for various narcotics/opioids include: ➔ Hillbilly Heroin, Lean or Purple Drank, OC, Ox, Oxy, Oxycotton, Sippin Syrup What are their forms? Narcotics/opioids come in various forms including: ➔ T ablets, capsules, skin patches, powder, chunks in varying colors (from white to shades of brown and black), liquid form for oral use and injection, syrups, suppositories, lollipops How are they abused? ➔ Narcotics/opioids can be swallowed, smoked, sniffed, or injected.
