Court stops Teva from selling its generic version of Famvir

The order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has nationwide jurisdiction in various subject areas that include patents, requires Teva to submit a response to the court.

The injunction remains in effect until a decision by the court. Teva launched its generic version “at risk” since patent litigation is still ongoing, and risks potentially significant damages if Novartis prevails. A trial date has not been set.
