Ariad announces disappointing ruling from Amgen patent infringement lawsuit

Ariad Pharmaceuticals, a drug discovery and development company, has announced that US District Court of Delaware granted Amgen's motion for summary judgment of non-infringement of seven claims of US patent based on activities related to Enbrel.

The court found that administration of Enbrel falls outside the scope of the asserted claims based on the court’s interpretation of these claims to exclude extracellular methods of reducing NF-eB activity.

Harvey Berger, chairman and CEO of Ariad, said: “We are disappointed by these rulings on claim construction and non-infringment, and plan to pursue the appropriate legal action to obtain review of the rulings.”
