Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[Mr Stockboy]

Myself not being a chemist but once working for a chemist the following HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS.

Quote from ORBAPU: "Icosapent ethyl or ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid is a synthetic derivative of the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)"... in another post he/she wrote "IPE does not occur in nature"... earlier he/she posted on the chemistry.

I AM EMBARRASSED AT MY OWN IGNORANCE!

I am equally embarrassed no one schooled Amarin's lawyers (in the past before Judge Du), the case before her was NOT OVER EPA, BUT IPE!!!! Do any of you lawyers see what I'm saying? IPE, not EPA, was the invention protected by the patents!!! I am so blown away right now, by this revelation.

The opposition before Du focused on an EPA argument, and Amarin's uninformed non-chemist lawyers fell right into the trap. "JUDGE DU!" Amarin's lawyer should have shouted, "This case IS NOT ABOUT EPA, it's about Amarin's IPE invention! Judge Du, the opposition presents articles all focused on EPA, not IPE! Fish are not swimming about with IPE in them!"

Now there are a lot smarter people than me on IHUB, so what do you think? If I were hence promoting Vascepa/Vazkepa my slogan would read: "It's NOT old smelly fish oil EPA, it's IPE, a synthetic invention of Amarin not found in nature."

Feedback?
