Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

HDK, The DC court agreed that >500 was a chronic condition to be treated chronically. It did't buy into the Generics claim that Doctors would recommend treatment for only 12 weeks. So Amarin won on infringement. and in the same breath lost on obviousness. Amarin tried to introduce Reduce-it as an extension of Marine, but Du ruled, that since Generics had submitted their ANDA prior to Reduce-it top line, Reduce-it wasn't relevant for the case before the court.

In other words, if you believe Generics would infringe on Reduce-it patents going forward, Amarin is welcome to file a new infringement claim for infringing on the entire Reduce-it data set. I believe HDG confirmed the DC court's ruling on infringement on Marine patents, but moot by invalidating them.
