Eliminating Data Restrictions for Life Sciences

The Latest on Veeva’s Ongoing Lawsuit with IQVIA

关于Veeva与IQVIA诉讼的最新消息

Life sciences companies should have the freedom to choose the software and data products that meet their business needs without restriction. Choice is good for the market and beneficial for customers.

生命科学领域的公司应该可以自由而不受限制地选择满足其商业需求的软件和数据产品。自由选择不仅可以促进市场繁荣,而且对消费者也有益。

Veeva and IQVIA have software and data products that compete. IQVIA prevents customers from loading IQVIA OneKey and other IQVIA reference data products into certain Veeva software products (MDM and data warehouse) but not others (CRM). We believe IQVIA’s actions are arbitrary, anti-competitive and harm the industry by raising costs, limiting choice and slowing innovation.

Veeva和IQVIA之间有相互竞争的软件和数据产品。IQVIA禁止消费者将IQVIA OneKey和其他IQVIA参考数据产品加载到特定的Veeva软件产品(MDM和数据仓库),却不针对其他产品(CRM)进行上述限制。我们相信IQVIA的行为是随意的反竞争行为,通过提高成本,限制消费者选择,阻碍创新,从而威胁整个行业发展。

In March 2017, after three years of trying to find an amicable resolution, Veeva filed a lawsuit against IQVIA to end the long history of anti-competitive behavior and eliminate unfair data restrictions for the life sciences industry. The timeline below summarizes the facts of the case as well as the expected trial date.

2017年3月,在3年努力达成友善决议失败后,为了终结长期的反竞争行为,并消除生命科学行业的不公平数据限制,Veeva对IQVIA提出了诉讼。如下时间表概述了案件的历程以及预计的审判日期。
