Health insurer takes pharma giant to court for ‘evergreening’
20 September 2018 - Health insurance group Menzis is taking legal action against Astra Zeneca, accusing the pharmaceuticals firm of ‘dragging out’ patents to make it pay too much for drugs.
Menzis wants €4m in compensation for its clients, whom, it says, paid too much for a drug named Seroquel.
The case will be heard by judges in The Hague on Friday.
