Antitrust Hot Issues in the Pharmaceuticals Field and Corporate compliance Management
On August 9, 2024, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) released a draft of the Anti-monopoly Guidelines in the Field of Pharmaceuticals for public comments ("Draft Guidelines"). This is another significant anti-monopoly rule in pharmaceutical sector in China since the release of the Anti-Monopoly Guidelines Regarding Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in 2021. The pharmaceutical sector has always been a key area for China's anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies, being fundamental both to the national economy and to people's livelihoods. In recent years, the main monopoly behaviors investigated and penalized by anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies include price fixing and horizontal monopoly agreements segmenting the sales market, resale price maintenance, as well as abuse of market dominance, including unfair high pricing and imposing unreasonable trading conditions.
In addition, the issues of reverse payment and product hopping have also come into focus for China's anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies. This seminar will center on the key antitrust issues in the pharmaceutical sector and provide targeted advice with regard to antitrust compliance for pharma companies, taking into account judicial practices in China and other major jurisdictions.
