Jas re pt 2. Evidence not previously considered by the PTO

Not sure if you are familiar with how Teva ( I think ) invalidated the Lovaza patent held by GSK .

Even tho the patent had been approved for several yrs , Teva was able to find a situation where Lovaza had been used in outside research ... thus in the public domain ... before the patent was issued . They were able to use this to invalidate that patent although I think the case went to appeal

This is all from memory so please chk actual details

My pt is. ..with the Reduce It trial results heralding a new and very large market .... I expect Dr Reddy to go to extreme lengths to find something to try and crack Amarins wall of patents .... just as Teva did with the Lovaza patent .

The PTO was not aware that Lovaza had been in the public domain UNTIL Teva found evidence of such .

I agree that Dr Reddy has a very high bar to get over ... but I’m not as dismissive of the risk ...as some on this board appear to be .
