I believe Anavex patent protection is better than AMRN. I have not looked at AMRN patents but Anavex has a whole suite of patents which provide comprehensive protection IMO. An Anavex Director is a world class patent attorney in the area of pharmaceuticals.
The Coup de Gras of these is the patent on the crystalline form of A2-73 and it's isomers. This is the shelf stable form suitable for pills and no refrigeration. The FDA could not likely find a liquid generic form non-inferior because of the risk of degradation as it moves though the supply chain to the consumer. Also they would have a hard time competing on price as the drug is not expensive to make but the non stable form would be expensive to ship and handle, again with less confidence in a consistent product.
I believe icosapent ethyl (Vascepa) is non-crystalline and stable in its liquid form.
No patent issues at Anavex. Anavex management are practical Cats. Everything is planned and executed to precision.
