Bayer Releases Statement on Judge’s Ruling on False Advertising Suit Against J&J and Janssen Biotech
Bayer has released a statement regarding the ruling on the preliminary injunction it filed against J&J and Janssen Biotech
“This decision comes at a very early stage in the case and only addresses the preliminary, pre-trial relief sought by the company. Bayer continues to believe the full body of evidence supports its false advertising claims and looks forward to the Court’s determination on the merits of the case. The company maintains that J&J’s superiority claims are false, misapply real-world evidence, mislead prescribers and patients, and are intended to increase its market share in a concentrated and increasingly competitive prostate cancer treatment market.”

The Supreme Court’s affirmance is based on the same reasons given by the Chancery Court, which found that Merck was solely liable and responsible for all product-liability claims relating to the time before the closing of the Purchase Agreement between the two companies under its terms.”
