Settlement Structure: Claims Made
Active: Open
Case Summary:This antitrust case has a long list of defendants, including companies related to Lupin, Warner Chilcott, and Watson. The complaint was filed by a group of end-payors who claimed that the companies violated antitrust laws and engaged in anticompetitive behavior by conspiring to keep generic versions of Loestrin 24 Fe and Minastrin 24 Fe off the market. This caused consumers and third-party payors to pay too much for these contraceptives.

Consumer: You bought or paid some or all of the purchase price for Loestrin 24 Fe, Minastrin 24 Fe, or generic versions of these drugs, for consumption by yourself or your family members, not for resale, in the US and its territories, including Puerto Rico.
Third-Party Payor (TPP): You bought, paid, or provided reimbursement for some of all of the purchase price for Loestrin 24 Fe, Minastrin 24 Fe, or generic versions of these drugs, for consumption by your members, employees, insured, participants, or beneficiaries, and not for resale, in the US and its territories, including Puerto Rico.
Typical Settlement Amount:Varies. Warner Chilcott Settlement: No payments to consumers. TPP that submit valid claims will receive payments based on various factors, including the number of valid claims filed by all TPP class members and the dollar value of each claimant’s purchase. Lupin Settlement: Because of the costs of the litigation and settlement, there will likely not be sufficient funds to compensate consumer class members. TPPs must submit valid claim forms.
Total Settlement Amount: $63,500,000
Class Representative Proposed Incentive Fee:Up to $10,000 for TPP class representatives; $5,000 for consumer named plaintiffs in the Lupin Settlement Class.
