IN MAJOR ANTITRUST LAWSUIT, AG HEALEY SUES GENERIC DRUG MAKERS FOR CONSPIRING TO RAISE PRICES

IN MAJOR ANTITRUST LAWSUIT, AG HEALEY SUES GENERIC DRUG MAKERS FOR CONSPIRING TO RAISE PRICES

Six Pharmaceutical Companies Coordinated to Fix Drug Pricing Among Competitors and Maintain Market Share

BOSTON – Alleging that six pharmaceutical companies conspired together to raise prices and reduce competition for generic drugs, Attorney General Maura Healey has joined a coalition of states in filing a lawsuit against the generic drug makers.

The complaint, filed today in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleges that generic drug-makers Heritage Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc., Citron Pharma, LLC, Mayne Pharma (USA), Inc., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. conspired to maintain market share, avoid competition and fix prices in order to manipulate and raise the prices of two generic drugs: doxycycline hyclate delayed release, an antibiotic, and glyburide, an oral diabetes medication.

The complaint alleges that the companies routinely coordinated their schemes with their competitors at industry trade shows, customer conferences and other events, as well as through direct email, phone and text message communications.

“These drug makers coordinated to allegedly fix prices and allocate markets for these two generic pharmaceuticals in order to maximize profits,” AG Healey said. “Generic drugs play a vital role in keeping health care costs down and making medication affordable to those who need it, and companies that fix prices to illegally profit and drive up prescription drug costs must be held accountable.”

In 2015, generic drug sales in the United States were estimated at $74.5 billion, and the generic pharmaceutical industry accounts for approximately 88 percent of all prescriptions written in the United States.

In July 2014, the state of Connecticut initiated an investigation into the reasons behind suspicious price increases of certain generic pharmaceuticals. In the lawsuit filed today, the states allege that the misconduct was conceived and carried out by senior drug company executives and their subordinate marketing and sales executives. The states allege that this anticompetitive conduct, which includes efforts to fix and maintain prices, allocate markets and otherwise thwart competition, caused significant, harmful and continuing effects to the country’s healthcare system.

The drug companies allegedly made efforts to avoid communicating with each other in writing or, in some instances, deleted written communications, including after they became aware of the investigation. The states allege that the companies’ conduct violated the federal Sherman Act and are asking the court to enjoin the companies from engaging in illegal, anticompetitive behavior and for equitable relief, including substantial financial relief, to address the violations of law and restore competition.

In addition to Massachusetts, and led by Connecticut’s attorney general, the plaintiff states in this lawsuit are Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.

The lawsuit was filed under seal in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. Portions of the complaint are redacted in order to avoid compromising the states’ ongoing investigation.

This matter is being handled for Massachusetts by Antitrust Division Assistant Attorneys General Michael MacKenzie, Carol Head, Matthew Lyons, Economic Analyst / Paralegal Kyle Barr and Chief William Matlack.

BOSTON - Thursday, December 15, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the selection of an eight-member Advisory Committee for the recently released Housing Innovation Competition. Members of the Advisory Committee will be responsible for reviewing all applications and making a recommendation of the preferred developer's proposal to the city's Public Facilities Commission.  The Housing Innovation Competition is intended to determine if innovatively designed compact units combined with reduced development costs will result in financially feasible developments with a mix of affordable price points. The Housing Innovation Competition is part of Mayor Walsh's call for Boston to become a national and international leader in pioneering innovative housing models to serve the needs of Boston's current and future residents. "We want Boston to be a place all residents can call home," said Mayor Walsh. "To do so, we must look beyond the options that currently exist and activate new and original ideas.

Second Bay State Business Link Forum Focuses on Manufacturing in the Innovation Economy

Second Bay State Business Link Forum Focuses on Manufacturing in the Innovation Economy

Massachusetts Thought Leaders Discuss Workforce Development across the Commonwealth

[BOSTON] - Statewide business leaders convened today at the State House for the second Bay State Business Link (BSBL) forum. BSBL is a collaborative initiative led by House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) to encourage B2B collaboration across all regions of the Commonwealth and to identify opportunities for small and new business to connect with established companies.

Since 2009, the House of Representatives has sought to integrate Massachusetts’ historically-strong industries with emerging sectors in an effort to provide jobs to individuals of all skillsets. With that goal in mind, the forum focused on “Putting talent to work: Manufacturing in the innovation economy” with a specific emphasis on clean technology.

“Long before it became politically fashionable to talk about those regions left behind by the global economy, I have been traveling across the Commonwealth and trying to create jobs,” said Speaker DeLeo. “The Bay State Business Link is one way we are working to extend the success of Kendall Square and the Innovation District across Massachusetts. Today’s forum, focused on the intersection of innovation and manufacturing, highlights an area where Massachusetts is poised for national and global leadership.”

”Creating statewide connections through initiatives like the Bay State Business Link helps deliver the economic development opportunities and jobs that come with innovation to regions throughout the Commonwealth,” said James E. Rooney, president and CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. “Our organization will continue to work with Speaker DeLeo and other statewide business leaders to make Massachusetts more competitive and to help businesses and people across the state connect and thrive.” 

The discussion centered on workforce development, attracting and retaining talent, and making Massachusetts more competitive by focusing on the clean tech industry. Panelists included:

·         Secretary Rick Sullivan, President and CEO, Economic Development Council of Western Mass

·         Emily Reichert, PhD, CEO, Greentown Labs

·         Phil Guidice, CEO, Ambri

·         Kumble Subbaswamy, PhD, Chancellor, UMass Amherst

“Making it in Massachusetts for our small energy-technology company with global aspirations has been fun and rewarding,” said Phil Giudice, President & CEO of Ambri. “Potential partners, customers, employees and visitors from around the world come to Massachusetts to see Ambri as an example of our Commonwealth’s great innovation ecosystem and as a connection to great Massachusetts learning institutions.”

“Economic development for all of Massachusetts requires a partnership between government, employers and institutions of higher education,” said UMass Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy. “As the Commonwealth’s flagship campus, UMass Amherst plays a critical role in the state’s innovation economy, and we have nationally-recognized strengths in fields such as advanced manufacturing, applied life sciences, big data, cybersecurity, climate science and alternative energy. We are thrilled to join Speaker DeLeo and the House of Representatives to foster new connections that will help bring economic prosperity to all regions of the Commonwealth.”

“Western Massachusetts has a rich economic history, strong business communities, diverse industries and a deep talent pool,” said Rick Sullivan, President and CEO of the Western Mass Economic Development Council. “Too often these resources go overlooked. Fostering connections between companies in Western Mass and Boston will have mutually-beneficial results and I look forward to seeing new business partnerships develop from the Bay State Business Link.”

At the forum Speaker DeLeo joined Dr. Reichert to announce that Greentown Labs Manufacturing Initiative will be opening an office in Springfield. The new site, funded in part by the Davis Foundation, will create a bridge between hardware startups in the Boston area and manufacturers and startups in Western Mass. These linkages will help ensure that before companies look out-of-state for a service, they are able to connect with Massachusetts businesses and potential employees.

“Massachusetts has a rich history of manufacturing innovation and Greentown Labs is proud to support statewide efforts focused on workforce development and job creation across the industry to ensure we remain a leader in this space for many years to come,” said Emily Reichert, CEO of Greentown Labs. “Through our Manufacturing Initiative we’ve had the unique opportunity to work with both local startups and manufacturers to bridge communication and education gaps and ultimately develop working relationships between both parties. From this experience it has become clear that manufacturers play a critical role in our broader innovation economy—specifically in supporting hardware-focused startups —and we must continue to identify engagement opportunities with manufacturers around the Commonwealth.”

“There has been a long-term negative disconnect between the manufacturing growth in the Metro Springfield area as compared to the more favorable growth rates of the Metro Boston and Worcester areas,” said John Killam, President of MassMEP. “Through the direction of Speaker DeLeo and his vision for the Bay State Business Link, MassMEP is pleased to be part of this initiative to grow the manufacturing economy in Western Massachusetts.”

BSBL is backed by its partner organizations MassChallenge, Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MassMEP) and the Western Mass Economic Development Council.

BPDA Board approves 247 affordable residential units at December meeting

Adopts PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Ave. to guide future growth of neighborhood

BOSTON – The Boston Planning & Development Agency’s (BPDA) board of directors approved eight development projects at the December meeting. In total the projects represent 350 residential units, 247 of which are affordable, and are valued at $1.03 billion.

The Board also voted to adopt the PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue guidelines, which will guide the BPDA and the community on future development and public realm improvements within the South Boston Dorchester Avenue Study Area. Mayor Martin J. Walsh called for the plan in 2015 because of the need to shape growth as a community and create a holistic vision for the area. The plan establishes goals and strategies that will help drive short- and long-term public-private investments in the community, including a new network of streets, public parks and green space, a range of housing types, and more commercial, 21st century industrial and retail activity for South Boston. This plan will also serve as the foundation for working with the community to update zoning in the area so that it aligns with the community’s vision and creates predictable conditions for future development.

Of the eight development projects approved, four were new projects and four were Notices of Project Change (NPC). Below are summaries of the approvals. The full board agenda and archived video stream can be found here.

NPC Projects

• Parcel K, a mixed-use development anchored by residential units, a boutique hotel and office space on the South Boston Waterfront;
• South Station Air Rights, an office and residential development above South Station;
• 30 Polk Street, a residential development in Charlestown; and
• 422 River Street, a residential development in Mattapan.
