  1. Disputes over prescribing-data privacy and commercial speech

    IMS Health's collection and use of prescribing information generated privacy and free-speech controversy. In Sorrell v. IMS Health Inc., the United States Supreme Court considered a Vermont restriction on the sale, disclosure, and use of physician-identifying prescription information for pharmaceutical marketing. The Court ruled in favor of IMS Health, holding that the restriction violated the First Amendment. The company was also involved in IMS Health v. Ayotte.
