Controversy level
- The company built a 'patent thicket' of more than 130 patents around its blockbuster antiinflammatory drug Humira (adalimumab) to delay U.S. biosimilar competition until 2023, years after the drug's core patent expired, keeping U.S. list prices among the highest in the world (over $80,000 per year), a practice criticised in a 2021 U.S. House Oversight Committee report; the company's Allergan unit also contributed to opioidlitigation settlements.
