Gilead v. Superior Court

Berger Montague is Appellate Counsel representing Justice Catalyst as amicus curiae in a briefing on the merits. Berger Montague filed an amicus brief in the California Supreme Court arguing that pharmaceutical companies should be liable for substantial, unreasonable harm.

The amicus brief argues that hyperbolic arguments from the pharmaceutical industry’s amici are baseless, in part because analogous doctrines in antitrust law provide liability under similar circumstances. The case is still ongoing.

The amicus brief can be found here.
