AstraZeneca gets $107 mln Pfizer verdict overturned in US cancer drug patent fight

By Economic Times - a month ago
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly invalidated Pfizer’s patents related to the cancer drug Nerlynx, overturning a jury's $107.5 million award against AstraZeneca. Pfizer had claimed AstraZeneca's Tagrisso infringed these patents. Judge Kennelly's ruling found the patents lacked sufficient written descriptions and were not reproducible by a skilled scientist. This decision dismisses the damages awarded in May and affects Pfizer’s ongoing patent infringement claims. The case, Wyeth LLC v. AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, was heard in the District of Delaware.
