Wednesday, December 11, 2013. The Son Of Sunscreens' Patent Battle Royale": L'Oreal Resists "Trial Bifurcation" Efforts - Of Merck And J&J. Here's my older background.

But apparently, back when the three year-long sunscreen Lanham Act. A J&J brand, and Coppertone. Declaration (quoted at the top of page 4 of the complaint. As of the moment, L'Oreal's reasoning (resisting the...

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. In The "Caught My Eye" Dept.: $8.2 Billion Written Off; 29,160 Jobs. . . Gone, Since 2010 - Legacy S-P. This is all as a direct result of the " yard sale. Fred Hassan (and his top six co-horts) made, out of what was legacy Schering-Plough. Even so, the staggering $8.2 billion above doesn't include. The settlement of the various securities class actions. That resulted from his mismanagement - which likely now push the all-in tally close to another. In the three years before.

Saturday, August 8, 2015. Fast Fred" Hassan Joins Amgen Board - My Condolences, To Amgen Shareholders. I have ignored this tidbit of history (for legacy Schering-Plough folks. At least), long enough. Sometimes - I just need to rant. Forgive me for that. I'll try to be. . . restrained. At the end of last month, Fast Fred Hassan was added. To the board of directors of Amgen - a fine (and storied) biotech company. This led some in the MSM to speculate that Amgen may be a target - given Fred's history. Hassa...

Saturday, May 16, 2015. India's Supremes On Januvia (Sitagliptin) Patents: Still No Written Opinion; Glenmark Still Authorized To Sell Generic Januvia/Janumet. As we've written previously. We might expect a formal opinion on these Januvia. Patent disputes in India, by the Fall of 2015, if the parties don't settle prior thereto. And, as is often true, the embedded message from the very able justices of the Supreme Court, in India, is that the parties ought to settle. In country. From the. The latest devel...

Monday, December 16, 2013. Yet ANOTHER "ENHANCE Non-Disclosure" Federal Securities Suit Gets Underway In NJDC. Fast Fred" Hassan's "gifts". Just keep on giving, at the holidays, even six years later, it seems.

Saturday, May 30, 2015. UPDATE: The Full Order - In Merck's Propecia MDL. Again, it would shock me. If the good doctor actually does not. Appear, with documents in hand, on or prior to the return date - in two and one half weeks. I suppose it is possible that some " smoking gun. Will surface from her files, but she would have been required to show that to FDA staffers in near real time, whilst the studies were underway - and it would likewise shock me if FDA approved Propecia. 1300 York Avenue, Room A357.

Thursday, August 6, 2015. Old Simcere (China) JV Returned To JV Partner In Q2 2015: Merck's Just Filed SEC Form 10-Q. This is a rather smallish item, but as I review the SEC Form 10-Q just filed this evening. I thought I'd note it ( so I don't forget it. Since we've covered the Simcere JV for five years. [Previous backgrounder here. The JV will no longer be included in Kenilworth's consolidated results - and a tiny charge was taken on the divestiture, per page 48 of the SEC filing:.

Thursday, September 11, 2014. BMO Capital Markets Moved Merck To $64, Last Friday - From $62. I suspect that BMO is now more sanguine about a good strong mega blockbuster showing (i.e., $3 billion to $4 billion a year), beginning two years from now - over those next three years, from Keytruda. Merck had its price target upped by BMO Capital Markets from $62.00 to $64.00 in a research note issued to investors on Friday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adults: On US Corporate Taxation.

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Mr Hassan May Choose His Opinions; But He Can't Choose His "Facts" - Even A Decade On. When Fred Hassan was hired at Schering-Plough in April of 2003. So - chalk it up to irony that he would now tell us he transforms cultures of corruption into cultures of integrity. All the evidence points the other way - and points to his enriching himself mightily along the way. Even so, do read this nonsense. Written by Fast Fred. Mr Hassan's " 17 quarters of double-digit sales growth. The m...
