Drug Company Wins Fight Over Disputed Documents
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered that confidential marketing documents of a best-selling schizophrenia drug that were leaked to a reporter and posted online be returned to the manufacturer. The Washington Post reports that U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein demanded that internal documents on Eli Lilly’s drug Zyprexa, which were leaked to a reporter at The New York Times, be returned to the firm. A court last week refused a request by Eli Lilly to ban Internet sites that had obtained the internal documents from publishing them. Eli Lilly has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle a lawsuit filed by 26,000 of the drug’s users.
