Slough, UK, July 15, 2019 – Indivior PLC (LON: INDV) (“Indivior” or the “Company”) today announced that the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) has affirmed the judgments of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”) finding that Watson Laboratories Inc. (Watson); Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL); and Alvogen Pine Brook, LLC (“Alvogen”) failed to show that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,603,514 (the “‘514 Patent”) related to SUBOXONE® (buprenorphine and naloxone) Film are invalid, but that the asserted claims are not infringed by DRL and Alvogen. The CAFC also affirmed the judgments that DRL failed to provide that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,017,150 (the “‘150 Patent”) related to SUBOXONE® Film are invalid, but that those claims are not infringed by DRL. Alvogen and DRL have been marketing their generic buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film products at-risk since February 2019. The CAFC also upheld the District Court’s decision that Watson (now known as Actavis Laboratories UT, Inc.) infringes the ’514 Patent. Therefore, Watson/Actavis remains enjoined from launching their generic buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film product until the expiration of the ’514 Patent on April 3, 2024.
