| TAP Pharmaceutical Products v. Former Vendor |

TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc.

 |
| Winston & Strawn litigators obtained a complete victory for TAP Pharmaceutical Products, Inc. in a hotly contested arbitration filed by one of TAP’s former vendors for its blockbuster drug Prevacid. The plaintiff claimed breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, promissory estoppel, and a variety of related claims, and sought over $69 million in damages and a permanent injunction against our client. After a three-day arbitration involving numerous witnesses, including two damages experts, the arbitrator ruled in TAP’s favor on each of the ten counts filed by plaintiff and denied plaintiff’s request for damages and an injunction. In doing so, the arbitrator adopted nearly word-for-word the arguments made by TAP during the arbitration and in TAP’s pre-arbitration briefing. |
