Court orders GILD to pay MRK $2.54B in damages for HCV patent infringement:

This award is a consequence of the nucleoside patents owned by Idenix, which was acquired by MRK for $3.85B in 2014 (#msg-103051902). So, while MRK did not derive much benefit clinically from the IDIX deal (#msg-126517784), they did recapture a lot of the purchase price.
