Bona Law Defends Summary Judgment Win At Ninth Circuit In Antitrust Case About Internet Censorship By Pharmacy Groups

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25—In a brief submitted to the Ninth Circuit on Monday, September 16, 2024, Bona Law argued that a federal district court was correct to deny summary judgment in a long-running antitrust case that alleges a conspiracy among internet gatekeepers to keep information about drug pricing and alternative online pharmacies from reaching consumers.

In a January 2024 decision, District Judge Michael Simon at the Portland, Oregon federal court determined that defendant LegitScript's argument that plaintiff PharmacyChecker lacked antitrust standing was faulty.

PharmacyChecker provides free information services to website visitors about prescription drug costs and safe online pharmacy websites, including online pharmacies located abroad.
