Pfizer, Inc. v. Stryker Corp.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting the same argument raised by Plaintiff because “notwithstanding” clause concerning indemnification was “not inconsistent with the allocation of responsibility” elsewhere in the agreement
• applying New York law to this issue and stating its requirement that “a party must establish that the amount claimed is fixed”
• portraying the indemnitee’s right to notice, right to conduct and control over claims, and right to employ counsel as “rights and obligations for indemnification for third party claims”
• declining to interpret a purchase agreement to make the seller liable for losses arising from products sold after the closing date because such an approach “would be at odds with th[e] [purchase agreement’s] careful allocation of liability” based on the closing date
• “To assert a claim under a loss or liability indemnification agreement, a party must establish that the amount claimed is fixed.”
• “Scienter may be proved through circumstantial evidence by establishing facts showing a motive for committing fraud and a clear opportunity to do so.” (emphasis omitted)
