I have gone on record numerous time stating that it is my belief that HIKMA will not be found guilty as they will play the game - we just make the product we donT determine how it will be used

PBMs and Insurers I believe are more likely to be found guilty

WE can all agree:

1.) AMRN has patents on REDUCE IT Indications
2.) 90% of Vascepa RX are for REDUCE IT indications
3.) ANy generic RX #'s that exceed the number of cases of trigs >500 are infringing on REDUCE IT indications

The issue becomes figuring out who is inducing such This iS fascinating as someone just made AN argument that sort of caused me to switch gears momentarily


I buy a bearing at NAPA and its patented yet they give me a generic

SHould NAPA know thats violating patent law ? Maybe they are a big company but what about the Mom and POp store ? No way they would know . SO then is it the supplier - well maybe - but they just say we are buying parts - so then maybe its the manufacturer but they simply say we are just making parts we dont tell anyone how to sell or use it .

Based on this scenario I lean toward the manufacturer as they were breaking patent when they manufactured it - but of course with a skinny patent it gets way more complex. Say The bearing is patented for use in tractors but not cars - NAPA sells a ton for use in cars - now who is responsible ?

The guy buying it - he says I dotn know anything about a patent on bearings

NAPA for selling it for the wrong indication ? We just sell parts we dont tell people how to use them

The distributor ? Hey we just buy parts we dont tell people how to use them

The manufacture? Hey we just make parts

So - we have patent infringement but no one is responsible ....
