U.S. District Court Rejects Preliminary Injunction Against Community MTM Services Inc.
Posted on: Tuesday, 2 January 2007, 18:00 CST
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After hearing three full days of testimony and evidence, a United States District Court in Iowa quickly and completely denied a Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by Outcomes Pharmaceutical Health Care against the National Community Pharmacists Association and Community MTM(SM) Services Inc. Indeed, the Court concluded that the Motion "must be denied." The Court concluded that Plaintiff Outcomes had failed to establish the fundamental and required elements of its claims for breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets and trademark infringement and that, in any event, failed to show any damage, harm or injury.
The National Community Pharmacists Association, founded in 1898, represents the nation's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 24,000 pharmacies. The nation's independent pharmacies, independent pharmacy franchises and independent chains dispense nearly half of the nation's retail prescription medicines.
Community MTM(SM) Services Inc. (CMTM) is a subsidiary of the National Community Pharmacists Association focused on providing technological and business solutions to enhance independent and chain pharmacy organizations. CMTM's technology solutions are HIPAA-compliant, enabling community pharmacists to educate and consult patients with a variety of high-touch/high- tech encounters, including medication therapy management (MTM), a requirement of the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2006.
