See also:United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Schering-Plough Corporation, v. United States, 2:05-cv-02575-KSH-PS)

Judge Hayden ruled on August 31, 2009, that Schering-Plough could not receive a $473 million dollar tax refund related to two tax shelters the company used in 1991 and 1992. The judge found that the company used the shelter to avoid taxes on $690 million in profits.[3] Schering-Plough is a part of drug-making company Merck & Co. They argued that monies the unit received through transactions involving some foreign subsidiaries were not taxable, and that therefore they were entitled to a refund; the court found that the transactions were designed to avoid taxes on profits, and rejected their argument. Attorneys for Schering-Plough appealed the ruling to theThird Circuit Court of Appeals, but Judge Hayden's decision was affirmed.[4]
