Besides the finan- cial value of the brand, its influ- ence on health-care professio- nals played an essential role in the selection. The world’s largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, is also the company with the best and most valuable brand. This is the result of a global study by Interbrand, a New York specialist in evaluating brands. Interbrand prized the value of the Pfizer brand at about $20 billion and thus sees the US group at the top of the pharmaceutical giants.

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.

I) Background a) OFT Review In 2006 the OFT published a report: Opium Derivatives, A Review of the Undertakings Given by Macfarlan Smith (MSL)1. This report recommended that the Government should consider competition when setting licensing policy for opium derivatives. b) Government Response The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) has a general interest in OFT's market studies and co-ordinates Government responses where those studies make regulatory recommendations. Consideration of regulatory and policy issues is a matter for the relevant Department. In its response to the OFT2, the Government agreed to: Undertake to analyse the effects of MSL’s position as sole supplier on customers and competition, contrasting this with the positions of customers in other countries (both those who impose significant restrictions and those who do not). c) Work Undertaken by ERA & Drugs Liaison & Enforcement Unit (DLEU) BERR commissioned the Home Office to take forwards this market analysis. It was agreed that, at this stage, rather than repeat the OFT’s work a few years on (which was largely based on a survey of MSL’s UK customers) it made more sense to try and take the analysis forwards.
