    CareFirst Says Intent Standard Was Misread In Stelara Case

    CareFirst is arguing that a Virginia federal judge created a new standard for monopolization claims when he dismissed claims from the company's antitrust suit challenging Johnson & Johnson's protection of its immunosuppressive drug Stelara, arguing he misread a Fourth Circuit decision in ruling that monopolization requires a showing of specific intent.
