Crowell & Moring, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, ACLU of Missouri, and ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project Achieve Victory in Reproductive Rights Case in Missouri

Washington – February 21, 2025: Missouri health care providers will be able to resume abortion care after a Jackson County Circuit judge temporarily blocked the Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) last week. The TRAP restriction, Missouri’s abortion facility licensure requirement, had been left in place in a previous ruling and prevented providers, like Planned Parenthood, from resuming care, despite the state’s voters’ enacting an amendment on November 5, 2024, to enshrine a right to reproductive freedom in the Missouri Constitution.

Federal Court Limits Scope of California’s AB 824 Governing Reverse Payment Settlement Agreements

California’s Assembly Bill 824 (“AB 824”) was enacted in October 2019 to curb “reverse payment” settlements among pharmaceutical companies that are used to resolve or settle patent infringement claims. The law establishes a presumption that such settlement agreements, through which a brand-name manufacturer compensates a generic manufacturer to forego its patent challenges in exchange for an agreement to enter at a later date (but before the expiration of the branded company’s patents), are anticompetitive and unlawful.

In response, some manufacturers withdrew their patents, and others agreed to cap certain out-of-pocket costs for their drugs, resulting in a “victory lap” of media activity from the FTC in April.
