'99? sure. '97? not so much. sure people were getting clueful, but not to the degree that you'd think.
You think it was acceptable for professional trademark lawyers (which I assume they had) working for a huge pharmaceutical company to overlook who owns the domains to the trademarks?

If anyone should have known, it should have been them. That is their business. That's why you pay them $500 an hour.
