Johnson & Johnson's Risperdal trial begins in Spartanburg | GoUpstate.com

A Spartanburg County jury will decide whether a global drug company violated the state’s Unfair Trade Practices Act on allegations of deceptive marketing.

The trial is the fourth nationwide against Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmeceutica, a New Jersey-based company. Circuit Judge Roger Couch is presiding over the case, which is expected to last for a three-week period.

If a jury determines Janssen willfully violated the act, Couch will then award damages.
