On March 8, 2018, the Honorable Judge Amos L. Mazzant entered a Final Judgment awarding damages and attorneys’ fees of more than $24,000,000.00 to Plaintiff Tech Pharmacy Services, LLC and against Defendants Alixa Rx LLC, Golden Gate National Senior Care, LLC d/b/a Golden LivingCenters, and Fillmore Capital Partners LLC. This Final Judgment comes after a three-week jury trial in August and September 2017 in Sherman, Texas. Tech Pharmacy provides remote packaging and dispensing technology for long term care facilities. The case arose out of Tech Pharmacy’s multi-year business arrangement with the Defendants, who are involved in the nursing home industry. Tech Pharmacy accused the Defendants of breaching one of the confidentiality agreements between the parties and using confidential information of Tech Pharmacy to set up competitor Defendant Alixa Rx LLC. Following the three-week trial, the eight-person jury unanimously returned a verdict in favor of Tech Pharmacy and found that Defendants breached their confidentiality agreement with Tech Pharmacy. The jury awarded $15 million to Tech Pharmacy for damages from the Defendants’ breach of contract and an additional $2 million to Tech Pharmacy for its attorneys’ fees. In addition, the jury rejected the Defendants’ claims that Tech Pharmacy’s four patents-in-suit were invalid and that Tech Pharmacy’s claims were barred by limitations. On December 22, 2017, Judge Mazzant awarded additional attorneys’ fees of $5,304,454.15 to Tech Pharmacy. Tech Pharmacy was represented at trial by Maria Wyckoff Boyce (as lead counsel), Cristina Espinosa Rodriguez, Jeff Whittle, Jay Yates, and Jennifer Fleury of Hogan Lovells in Houston and Mike Jones of Potter Minton in Tyler, Texas. Defendants were represented at trial by Tom Melsheimer (as lead counsel), Brett Johnson, Michael Bittner, and Danielle Williams of Winston Strawn in Dallas and Charlotte, N.C., and Wesley Hill of Ward, Smith & Hill in Tyler, Texas.

The premiere on-site automated pharmacy system is part of purchase      of Tech Pharmacy Services

CRANFORD, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Partners Pharmacy, the nation’s third largest long-term care pharmacy,      recently acquired Tech Pharmacy Services, Inc. (TPS). TPS      develops, manufactures, and markets the premiere long-term care      automated pharmacy solution, AP PharmaSystem™, which includes AP PassportTM,      AP OncallTM and AP SolutionsTM. AP Passport is America’s most technologically integrated in-house      pharmacy system for remote dispensing of patient-specific medications. This system allows medications to be packaged on-site at a long-term      care facility for immediate use while remaining under the direct control      of the pharmacy. This patent-protected system allows a pharmacy to      seamlessly coordinate in-facility dispensing of patient-specific,      individually labeled packages for medication administration. Offering significant advantages over other packaging solutions, AP      Passport provides continuous oral dosing of medications at the      point-of-care, including controlled substances, while eliminating      potential cross contamination with other drugs during the packaging      process. AP Passport is supported through AP Oncall, an integrated customer care      center providing proactive monitoring and maintenance 24 hours-a-day,      365 days a year. Additionally, AP Solutions integrates accountability,      reporting and analytical functions essential to efficient long-term care      facility operations. "We believe this unique, facility-based medication dispensing technology      represents the future of long-term care pharmacy services, and we look      forward to expanding its availability as we continue to promote      solutions that allow for immediate medication availability to the      patients we serve,” said Partners Pharmacy President and CEO Patrick      Downing. "This acquisition fits seamlessly within our existing vision,      in addition to providing a platform for significant growth in the LTC      market,” Downing added. Partners Pharmacy Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer      Mindy Ferris said, “We have extensive experience with this technology,      having deployed AP Passport in over a hundred nursing facilities. We      have seen first-hand the ways that AP Passport can transform nursing      workflow, improving quality of care and efficiency. Moreover, the      waste-saving benefit of just-in-time packaging is widely recognized by      Medicare and third-party insurance programs as a critical element in      reducing the high cost of medications. It only makes sense that we      integrate this in to our organization.”
