Gilead, Teva reach 11th-hour settlements with some groups in HIV antitrust case

Right before opening arguments were set to begin in Gilead Sciences and Teva’s HIV antitrust trial, the two came to a last-minute settlement with some of the plaintiff groups.

Both companies settled with the pharmacy plaintiffs, a group that includes CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid and Walgreens, while Gilead made a deal with the direct purchasers. Now, indirect purchasers and others involved in the suit can take their claims to a California federal jury.
