What the NVS-MNTA 2003 Lovenox agreement says on this matter, if anything, is close to irrelevant. Why? Because there can’t be an out-of-court settlement of the lawsuit against Amphastar unless both NVS and MNTA agree to the settlement terms.
From a practical standpoint, therefore, the division between NVS and MNTA of the economic spoils from the settlement will be negotiated de novo.
