Appearances For the Commission: Wiliam C. Holmes. For the respondent: Charles E. Ruffon, C01ingwn Burling, Washingtn, D.
COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Eli Lily and Company, hereinafter referred to as "Lily" or "respondent" has violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, (15 V. C. 45), and Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended (I5 V. C. 18), and that a proceeding in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues this complaint, stating its charges as follows:
I. RESPONDENT PARAGRAPH 1. Lilly is a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Indiana, with its principal executive offices located at 307 East McCarty St. , Indianapolis Indiana.
PAR. 2. Lily s principal business is the manufacture and sale of chemical compounds and substances for use by or on living organisms - human, plant and animal. This business accounted for approximately 89% of the consolidated net sales of Lilly and its subsidiaries during the years 1972 through 1976.
PAR. 3. In I976, Lilly s consolidated net sales were approximately $1.34 bilion, consolidated net income after taxes was approximately ELI LILLY AND CO. 539 538 Complaint $200 million, and consolidated total assets were approximately $1.58 billion. Sales of pharmaceuticals accounted for approximately $761 milion of Lilly s consolidated net sales in I976. II. NATURE OF TRADE AND COMMERCE A. Relevant Market PAR. 4. The relevant geographic market involved in this complaint isthe United States as a whole. PAR. 5. The relevant product market involved in this complaint is finished insulin.
PAR. 6. Finished insulin is a drug used by approximately 1 600 000 diabetics within the United States in the treatment of diahetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes. For those diabetics who are insulin-dependent, finished insulin is the only method of treatment. PAR. 7. The market for finished insulin has been and is expanding rapidly. In I970, total industry sales of finished insulin within the United States were approximately $26 milion. By 1976, industry sales had expanded to approximately $57 million, representing an increase of more than 119% between 1970 and 1976.
PAR. 8. The market for finished insulin within the United States is dominated by Lily. Only two firms, including Lilly, account for 100% of total industry sales. Lilly alone accounted for more than 85% of total industry sales during the period from 1970 through I976. B. Industry Information PAR. 9. A vital raw material in the production of finished insulin is animal pancreas glands, derived as hy-products from meat slaughterhouses. Unrefined insulin and other materials are extracted from these glands in a form called " insulin salt cake." Insulin salt cake is then purified into a precipitate referred to as "insulin crystals. " Insulin crystals are combined with other substances to produce finished insulin, PAR. 10. Lily is the only firm in the United States finished insulin industry that is fully integrated. Lily purchases animal pancreas glands, extracts raw insulin from the glands in the form of insulin salt cake, refines the salt cake into insulin crystals, produces finished insulin from the crystals, and markets the finished insulin to hospitals and pharmacies throughout the United States for usc hy diabetics. PAR. 11. Lilly purchases its requirements of animal pancreas glands from United States meat slaughterhouses either directly or through collectors" or "brokers, Collectors" are firms that purchase glands Complaint 95 F.
from the slaughterhouses for their own accounts, trim and freeze the glands, and then selI them to manufacturers, either directly or through brokers. "Brokers " in contrast, are firms that simply arrange for the purchase and/or sale of the glands at a commission. III. JURISDICTION PAR. 12. At all times relevant to this complaint, Lily has purchased and offered to purchase animal pancreas glands from meat slaughterhouses, eolIeetors and brokers located throughout the United States and has sold, shipped and promoted its finished insulin products to customers located throughout the United States. Lilly has thereby engaged in or affected commerce as "commerce" is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U. C. 44. Except to the extent that competition has been hindered, restrained or frustrated by the acts and practices alleged below in this complaint, Lilly has been and is in competition with other firms in the purchase of pancreas glands within the United States and in the sale and distribution of finished insulin within the United States.
A. Count I PAR. 13. Lilly has monopoly power within the relevant market. PAR. 14. Lilly has since at least 1952 directly and indirectly engaged in acts, practices and methods of competition that, individually or collectively, have wilfulIy maintained its monopoly power within the relevant market and that have given it the power to inhibit, frustrate and restrain actual and potential competition within the relevant market.
Examples of such acts, practices and methods of competition include but are not limited to, the foliowing:
(a) Lilly has conspired with other domestic and foreign companies including certain eolIectors, brokers, and other manufacturers of insulin, to:
(1) Allocate and control the meat slaughterhouses at which pancreas glands are collected within the United States; (2) Allocate and control the distribution of pancreas glands collected within the United States;
(3) Suppress potential competition in the colIeetion of pancreas glands within the United States through such acts, practices and methods of competition as:
Could. Llj.Llli J.'rV l.U. 041 538 Complaint (i) A concerted refusal to deal with collectors and brokers not privy to the conspiracy (hereinafter "disfavored collectors and brokers (ii) The inducement of refusals to deal with disfavored collectors and brokers by their customers and suppliers;
(b) Lilly has acquired exclusive licenses within the United States certain key patents in the production of insulin products, including in particular a. I952 exclusive patent 1license from Novo Industri A/S, a Danish insulin producer ("Novo ), that expressly precluded other insulin manufacturers from entering the United States finished.insulin market with certain key insulin products.
PAR. 15. The aforesaid acts, practices and methods of competition by Lily have had, among others, the following effects: (a) The discouragement of potential entry into the United States finished insulin market, including, in particular, potential entry by: (I) The insulin manufacturers privy to the aforementioned conspiracy affecting the collection and distribution of pancreas glands within the United States;
(2) The insulin manufacturers affected hy the aforementioned exclusive patent licenses;
(3) Novo Industri A/S;
(b) The creation and maintenance of barriers to competition in the United States finished insulin market through: (1) Control of the pancreas glands needed to produce finished insulin within the United States;
(2) Control of key patents significant to effective competition within the United States finished insulin market.
PAR. I6. The aforesaid acts, practices and methods of competition constituted and stil constitute unfair methods of competition and unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U. C. 45. B. Count II PAR. 17. Lilly has since at least 1952 acquired patent rights under exclusive patent licenses where the effect has been to tend to substantially lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly, within the relevant market.
An example of such acquisitions includes, but is not limited to, the 1952 542 FEDERAL TRADI' Commlssion DECISIONS Decision and Order 95 F.
exclusive patent license from Novo Industri A/S referred to in Parilgraph Fourteen (b), above.
among others PAR. IS. The aforesaid acquisitions by Lilly have had, the following effects:
(a) The diseouragemcnt of potential entry into the United States finished insulin market, including, in particular, entry by: (1) The insulin manufacturers affected by the aforementioned exclusive patent licenses;
(2) Novo Industri A/S;
(b) The creation and maintenance of barriers to competition in the United States finished insulin market through control of key patents. PAR. 19. The aforcsaid acquisitions by Lilly constituted and still constitute violations of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, I5 , as C. IS, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act amended, 15 U. C. 45.
