Teva Wins U.S. High Court Ruling That May Delay Copaxone Rivals
(Bloomberg) — Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. won a U.S. Supreme Court patent ruling that will help it forestall generic competition to its top-selling Copaxone multiple- sclerosis drug.
Voting 7-2, the justices gave a reprieve to a Teva patent that would protect Copaxone from rivals until September 2015. The majority told a lower court to reconsider a ruling invalidating the patent.
