Order compelling certain co-promotion documents issues
In re: Rosuvastatin Calcium Patent Litigation, MDL No. 08-1949a-LPS, May 7 , 2009.
Stark, M. J. Defendants’ application for co-marketing is granted to the extent of plaintiff’s proposed compromise. The Court defers ruling on Plaintiff’s application for a defendant’s research and development efforts to allow for further attempts to compromise.
The Court considers the request for “all documents relating to … efforts to ‘co-market’ and ‘co-promote’ Crestor, including all due diligence communications’ overbroad and finds the more limited production set forth in plaintiff’s proposal more reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. The production is ordered within 15 days of the date of the order.
