Federal judge enforces settlement agreement between Mylan and Endo Pharmaceuticals regarding generic Frova

This product is the generic version of FROVA®, which is used to treat acute migraine headaches in adults.

As a result of the decision, the Court has vacated its 28 January 2014, decision in favor of Endo regarding the parties’ patent litigation over this product, which could have prevented Mylan from launching its generic version of FROVA until after the expiration of US Patent 5,464,864 patent on 7 November 2015.

By enforcing the settlement, Mylan can launch its product pursuant to the terms of the settlement, contingent upon final FDA approval.
