You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Che tum, and Howe. John, a former researcher at Pharmacy, comes to your office. He has concerns about Pharmaceutics use of AD23, one of the company’s top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago, after Pharmaceutics research indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) scrutiny, Pharmacy established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Comp Care, to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription basis. Comp Care established itself in a suburban office park near its parent’s headquarters. To conserve money and time, Comp Care did a quick, low-cost renovation.

Comp Care benefited from Pharmaceutics reputation, databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise, and within six (6) months had the medical community buzzing about AD23. Demand soared, particularly among Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the opportunity to realize even more profit, Comp Care began advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals, clinics, and physician offices, even though compounding pharmacies are not permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this technicality, Comp Care encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to Comp Care. Pharmacy sold Comp Care to WellCo, a large drugstore chain, just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.

As Comp Care and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and Pharmaceutics stock price approached $300 per share, reports started surfacing that people who received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling large orders and paying huge bonuses to all the executives and managers, including John, whose wife recently died from a heart attack after using AD23.

John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23, and information describing the company’s willingness “roll the dice” and continue to market the drug.

Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.

In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Sprayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within the past two (2) years.

Argue for or against Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing by drug companies. Provide support for your response.
Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme, the actions that either these parties or the FDA could / should have taken in this scenario, and whether Pharmacy could face legal exposure surrounding its practices. Support your response.
Analyze the manner in which Pharmacy used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true “inventor” of AD23. Suggest at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property.
