Pfizer Seeks Legal Action Against Metsera and Novo Nordisk
Pfizer has filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent Metsera from breaking its contract to partner with Pfizer and instead making a deal with Novo Nordisk.
“A reasonable juror could find that the defendants’ 'blaming supply,' making uncompetitively high bids and falsely citing production costs for increased prices were aimed at concealing their alleged conspiracy,” the court ruled.
Pfizer alleges that Novo Nordisk is trying to "catch and kill" Metsera, a company Pfizer was acquiring, as a tactic to suppress potential competition against Novo Nordisk’s obesity medications, Ozempic and Wegovy.
Summary
Legal battles arise from data breaches and alleged anti-competitive tactics in healthcare, highlighting the high stakes around sensitive data and market competition.
