JAMP seeks to bring abuse of dominance case re: STELARA | Smart & Biggar

JAMP filed an application with the Competition Tribunal on July 26, 2024, seeking leave to bring an abuse of dominance case against Janssen relating to ustekinumab (Janssen’s STELARA). 

JAMP proposes to allege that its ustekinumab biosimilar (JAMTEKI) business, or alternatively its biosimilars business, has been significantly harmed by Janssen’s “gaming of the regulatory system and sham litigation” and other past or ongoing anti-competitive acts.

The pending decision as to whether JAMP can commence the case would be the Tribunal’s first decision under recent Competition Act provisions permitting private parties to apply to bring an abuse of dominance application. Case details are available to view online.
