• 19-Jul-2011: NVS reports 2Q11 sales of generic Lovenox.

• Late Jul/early Aug 2011: MNTA’s 2Q11 financial results and CC.

• 4-Feb-2013 (not a typo): Start of NVS/MNTA’s patent-infringement suit against Teva. (See #msg-61591240 for the relevance of this.)


Copaxone

• 27-Jul-2011: Teva reports 2Q11 Copaxone sales, which will show how well Copaxone is holding up to competition from Gilenya.

• Aug-Sep 2011: Possible ruling re Copaxone mini-trial on inequitable conduct argument. (Mini-trial will be completed in Jul 2011; the Judge will presumably rule on inequitable conduct before the start of the Copaxone trial on other arguments, although this is not a legal requirement.)

• Timing uncertain: FDA action on Copaxone ANDA. (See #msg-60836359 for handicapping of the timing.).
