Legal and Ethical Considerations in Marketing Product Safety and Intellectual Property
Order Description
You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey Chetum and Howe. John a former researcher at PharmaCARE comes to your office. He has concerns about PharmaCAREs
use of AD23 one of the companys top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago after PharmaCAREs research indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of
Alzheimers disease John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA)
scrutiny PharmaCARE established a wholly-owned subsidiary CompCARE to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription
basis. CompCARE established itself in a suburban office park near its parents headquarters. To conserve money and time CompCARE did a quick low-cost renovation.
CompCARE benefited from PharmaCAREs reputation databases networks and sales and marketing expertise and within six (6) months had the medical community buzzing
about AD23. Demand soared particularly among Medicare Medicaid and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the opportunity to realize even more profit CompCARE began
advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals clinics and physician offices even though compounding pharmacies are not
permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this technicality CompCARE encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to CompCARE.
PharmaCARE sold CompCARE to WellCo a large drugstore chain just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.
As CompCARE and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and PharmaCAREs stock price approached $300 per share reports started surfacing that people who
received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling large orders and paying huge bonuses to all
the executives and managers including John whose wife recently died from a heart attack after using AD23.
John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23 and information describing the companys willingness roll the dice
and continue to market the drug.
Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.
In preparation for this assignment use the Internet or Strayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within the past two (2)
years.
Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

3.Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme the actions that either these parties or the FDA could /
should have taken in this scenario and whether PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices. Support your response.
4.Analyze the manner in which PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true inventor of AD23. Suggest
at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property.
5.Summarize at least one (1) current example (within the past two [2] years) of intellectual property theft and examine the effect on that companys brand.
6.Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of Johns wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23.
7.Specify both the major arguments that John can make to claim that he is a whistleblower and the type of protections that he should be afforded. Justify your
response.
