Delaware Courts and the Validation of Misleading Disclosure: In re Transkaryotic (Orphan Drugs)(Part 7)
J. Robert Brown |
Friday, July 25, 2008 at 11:01AM We are discussing In re Transkaryotic, a relatively recent Delaware case that contains bad law and reflect the anti-plaintiff bias of the Delaware courts.
The Court described some of plaintiffs' description as "sloppy and disingenuous." The opinion, however, noted the following: "Products used to treat rare diseases are known as 'orphan drugs.'" The statement is incomplete. As the FDA web page notes: "The term 'orphan drug' refers to a product that treats a rare disease affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans." Sloppy and disingenuous? You decide.
