Although the market didn't like this news, I really think it is of very little practical significance. Orphan designation stops an imitator for 7 years, but Gralise would be very hard indeed to copy because of its unique PK characteristics. (Note that it is labeled as non-substitutable with Neurontin, which in this case is a good feature). So the chance of generic competition is remote in my opinion.
